250sp23 - Project 3 Peer Review
Welcome to the Project 3 Peer Review. Make sure you have a copy of your partner's complete project draft including Mathematica notebook and writeup. As soon as you receive the files, open the Mathematica notebook and make sure it works.  If not, contact your partner to let them know!

Your goal is to be generous and constructively critical about their work. This will also give you a better understanding about how your own project will be received, which will also help during the revision process.

The projects will be graded on a set of eleven criteria. Please be honest about the project's shortcomings so that your partner can improve before they submit their final project.

What is the name of the person filling out this form?
What is the name of the classmate whose work is under review?
Presentation
Watch the presentation from start to finish.
Did the presentation respect the time constraints? (No fewer than 3 minutes and no more than 6 minutes.)
Clear selection
Did the presentation give a clear introduction that explained the goal of the project?
Clear selection
The presentation should convey that the presenter thought deeply about their project and are knowledgeable about the subject. Give suggestions for how they can improve upon the impression they give.
Was the live-action demonstration of the notebook interactivity well chosen? Did it showcase the most interesting aspects of the notebook? How could it be better?
In which ways did the presenter relate their project experience to the audience? Which part of the story was the most captivating? Which part fell a bit flat? What else could the presenter add to improve the relationship they form with the audience?
Are the controls of the interface intuitive? Did you run into any difficulties using the controls? What is your favorite part about the user experience of interacting with the notebook?
The interface of the interactive notebook
Start by opening your classmate’s interactive notebook without getting an introduction of what it is and how to use it. Answer the following questions.  You'll take a look at the details of the Mathematica code later.
When you open your classmate’s notebook, is the interactive interface the first thing you see? Are there clear instructions for what you are supposed to do?
Is the interface visually pleasing? Provide some feedback to improve the visual aspect of the notebook.
What in the interface is especially well done? Give an example or two and explain why you singled them out.
What in the interface needs some improvement? Give an example or two and explain how they could be improved.
Writeup
Does the essay satisfy the writing format requirements (1 inch margins, 1.5x spacing, and 11-point Times New Roman font.)?
Clear selection
Does the essay use complete sentences and proper English?
The language used was simplistic, incorrect, or had many grammatical errors.
The language used was complex, well structured, and grammatically correct.
Clear selection
Would you say that the essay flowed well from start to end?
The essay was very choppy and lacked direction. There was no cohesion between the paragraphs.
The essay flowed extremely well, touching on all the points in a cohesive manner.
Clear selection
Recall the Writeup Content Standard:
Have you adequately addressed the following questions:
  • How did you choose your topic?
  • Why it is reflective of your current level of knowledge in the subject you are exploring?
  • How is the quality of your Mathematica file reflective of your current knowledge of Mathematica and general programming skills?
  • Have you discussed your notebook's organization?
  • Why did you code your notebook the way you did and why did you choose that type of interface?
  • How did your project evolve over time?
  • How did peer review have an influence on your project?
  • If you had more expertise in Mathematica or more time to work on this project, what would you change and why?
Which, if any, of these questions were not addressed?
Which questions would you want the writer to expand upon more?
What questions do you have about the project and its process after reading the essay?
Provide a few examples where the writing or sentence structure could be made more clear.
The Mathematica Code
Now go back and read through your classmate’s code and provide feedback about the following.
Is the code in the Mathematica notebook well organized, with related parts grouped together and presented in a logical order?
It's hard to understand what is happening in the notebook code. I don't see any logical structure.
The notebook code is very well organized. I can see exactly which parts correspond to which functionality of the app.
Clear selection
Is the Mathematica notebook well commented?
There are little to no comments in the notebook. I can't parse what is happening.
The code is very well commented. I understand what each block of code does and why it is included.
Clear selection
Recall the Complexity standard:
  • Are you using multiple new commands (or options) that we have not learned so far this semester, both in terms of interactivity and in terms of Mathematica functionality?
  • Are the commands that you are using commensurate with your programming knowledge?
  • Does the difficulty level of your project match your level of knowledge of the content?
What score would you give the project for Complexity?
Clear selection
Do you have any additional comments about the Mathematica file?
Thank you!  Remember to submit this form and then forward the email confirmation with your responses to your partner.
A copy of your responses will be emailed to the address you provided.
