Final Course Potluck

To pass the course, the student has to collect 4 grades:

the grades are in category: "presentation", "demo", "essay", "competition entry", "open", "development" (choose four out of six, at most one in the same category, it is not necessary to cover everything)
the student proposes a category and a topic, which is discussed and accepted by the TA. The proposal is made as a pull-request on this repository.
in each category, there are suggested topics, listed on issues in this repository (for instance #9 lists topics about testing)
each grading category, there is a grading form, which explains how to pass / pass with distinction.
4 Pass means a final E, 3 Pass / 1 Distinction means a final D, 2 Pass / 2 Distinction means a final C, 1 Pass / 3 Distinction means a final B, 4 Distinction means a final A
- for the competition, the distinction is given to the top-25% best performing teams
Group work is encouraged (max 3 persons) but you cannot be with the same persons for more than 2 projects. You can do a work alone for one or at most two projects.
