Read the appropriate sections of Fogel to get an overview of the types of documentation that a project needs.
Review and assess the following materials for your project.
The deliverable for this assignment should be a white paper with a concise assessment of each item and a recommendation for how deficiencies (if any) should be addressed.
Handin instructions: Post your white papers to the course Wiki.
This is an individual assignment. Each student should conduct and independent assessment. If the project has a lot of source files, you may collaborate (divide and conquer) on the assessment of the source code documentaiton.
Grading rubric: You'll be graded on how detailed and thorough your review is and how helpful your suggestions for improvement are.
