CompSci 308 : Fall 2016

Computer Science Education Week, this week, includes the Hour of Code event
Interested in being an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant (UTA)?
- Sign up to be a UTA online
The Final Demo will take place on Wednesday, December 14 from 7-10pm, in our classroom, Gross Hall room 103:
- Each team will have 20 minutes to present
- Focus your presentation on demonstrating the functionality/flexibility of your project rather than its design
- If you will NOT be attending this demo, you MUST:
  - Email me a video BEFORE then that shows:
    - a demo of your part of the project
    - an explaination of the design of your part of the project (how it is open to extension, how it contributes to the whole project, and at least one issue you tackled to make it a "good" design)
