Course evaluations + iPad found in lecture

Please remember to fill out the course evaluations, not just for 6.813/6.831 but for all your classes. MIT classes are in a constant state of iterative design, and as you hopefully know intimately from your UI project, evaluation and feedback from the target user population is essential to making that work.
Evaluations close on Monday at 9 am, so take a moment to do it right now!

Also, somebody left their iPad in lecture today. If it's yours, email me.

Madness presentations in Wednesday's class

This Wednesday in class, we will have a final project madness for all your cool projects.

Here's how the class will be structured:
* Each group gets 30 seconds to present your project. You *don't* have to divide this among all your teammates like we did in studio; it's okay if only one person talks.
* You should have either a Google Presentation or a YouTube video (but not both) to accompany your presentation.
* Link your presentation or video to your group name in
https://wikis.mit.edu/confluence/display/6DOT813sp13/Madness
Do this no later than 1:00 pm (start of class) on Wednesday.
* The order of the groups on this page is the order that we'll be doing the presentations.

Good luck with finishing up your work!

RS3 & Office Hours today

Due to GR5 meetings, office hours won't be able to be held as planned today. Since people may still want RS3 help, we'll be holding extra office hours TOMORROW 5/9 at 3:00pm in G718.

One small note about RS3: If your results don't agree with the results in the paper, that's okay. Replicating work sometimes means you find out new information! Just make sure you talk about where your results deviate in your writeup. Feel free to ask for clarification on Piazza.
