Lecture Notes:

• Secret sauce of the project to progress - true bit of intellectual property that we are generating during this semester (Key intellectual property - what is that you understand more than anyone else, what is that special about it that no one done before)
• How to do group evaluation? Velocity is one of the metrics. Online evaluation resources. Set some goals to improve and exploit. Be objective with tact.
• The biggest value in criticism is that is opens up the main flaws and areas for improvements
• Self-evaluation ( looking for big delta, big accomplishments, how to make the self-eval better)
• Recognizing in yourself what are the areas for improvement, ability to look at yourself objectively, understand the reader self-eval was prepared for
• Make short and easy to read ( in consideration that the prof. have to read 30 of self-evaluations)
• Necessary and sufficient conditions ("overly completed is less complete")
• If you know how to do it right, then you should understand better how to do it even better next time
• "Verification and Validation" method (doctest in python) - demonstrated by Jacob
