A general check before you call it done

General checklist from the author, not specific to this module and not official.

  • Each official bullet above has evidence in your documentation: files, photos, a short video or output.
  • Group work and your own individual contribution are clearly separated and described.
  • Source files are linked, not only screenshots, so someone else could reproduce your work.
  • You say what failed and what you changed, not only what worked.
  • You say how this connects to your final project, even if only a little.
