Notice the git commit url for the team you are reviewing on the right side of the spreadsheet. As we receive the git commit URLs from a few remaining teams, we'll update the document.

Critique 3 (requires form submission)

Hello Teams,

The 3rd critique is coming up soon. For this critique, we'd like each of the members of your team to find one interesting flaw in the code of the project and prepare a slide per flaw (so if you have 3 team members, your critique presentation will have 3 slides and cover 3 flaws). To spice up the next round of critiques, we'll be giving a few prizes from Github for the best flaws found.

Important!
To allow the team critiquing your code to review code that has mostly complete features, each team MUST provide BY TONIGHT a recent (within the last few days) URL of the git commit they want reviewed. Sorry for the late notice, but we want to allow you to do your critique before the holidays.

Provide the git commit your team wants reviewed:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1QEB3wtMSB4X_ZNdKJ3_fcwP2X1Z1I091k8FY98vjUvU/viewform

We'll let you know the team and specific commit your team should critique by tomorrow morning.

Repos Visible
Also, your staff have decided to make all final project repositories readable to the entire class for the rest of the term to encourage transparency and idea sharing. However, this is not a license to copy the work of others or do anything of that nature - use responsibly.
