Comments and peer grade for Athena's video:

OVERALL AVERAGE SCORE: _/6

1. Aadya:

Overall Score 6/6 Lists: 2 points. You connected the topic in college board to the code very well. I was able to connect the concepts you covered in the code to the videos I watched. You successfully understood what a list is, and the various manipulations on them. Conditionals: 2 points. You connected the topic of conditionals to your code well. You understood how to create a conditional, and the various uses of it. It is clear you understand the logic behind conditionals as you use them in your code to to say IF something is true, THEN do this. Data Abstractions: 2 points. You connected the topic variables in college board to the code we worked on. You seem to understand that variables hold data, and are a form of data abstraction. You also explain how you used the variables in the code.

Positives:

• I liked how you implemented the learned topic from CB, and the and developed it. For example, in lists, CB teaches us how to create a list, but you developed your learning by adding to the list.

• The idea of entering someone's name and then receiving their about me page is very unique and creative.

• The explanation of the significance of using a variable was very clear.

Suggestions:

• In data abstractions, I wish you chose more that 1 type of variable. For example, you could have talked about the various other type of variables.

2. Allison:

Overall score: 6/6

• Lists: Very very clear explanation of the lists, clear step by step information from each line of code. Comments in code are so clear! (2/2)
• Booleans/Conditionals: Cool feature- great explanation of a feature that wasn't a mini lab feature, very clear to understand this and how it related to conditionals (2/2).
• Data Abstractions: Variables were inputs from the user, I like how you explained this with the binary.html. It was good that you explained every line of code and explained the temp variable from CB topic 3.1 (2/2)

Positives

• Clear explanations of multiple features. It was great that you went line by line and didn't brush over anything and dove into al of your topics deeply. You made it super clear to understand which of your PBL topics were intertwined with which CB topic, and it was cool to explain and see features that weren't mini lab features.

Suggestion: It is hard to find something to suggest, but perhaps maybe a direction where you could go next is making the greet function link to other pages besides the about me pages? Maybe for the main page.

3. Gaurish:

Overall Score 6/6

Lists: (2/2) I really like the structure of this where you showed the runtime and also talked about the problem you face, but how you were able to overcome it with lists. Good explanations of functions too that were related to the overall function of the comment system itself Conditionals: (2/2) I like how you talked about the different things you had to change like the main or greet in order to make it so that if one of our names is entered, then it goes to our pages. Very clear if/then structure leads to a seamless CB transition. Data Abstractions: (2/2) You clearly show a great understanding of data abstraction and its role within the binary lab. Also great job on the CB transition for this one especially in the different elements within it.

Positives: +I liked how you were able to go over various aspects of the website to show that you had a good understanding of everything and were participating actively in problem-solving when you encountered problems (like with the comment page). +I really liked the video itself, it was amazingly clear and had every element one of us could expect in video with titles and extremely clear division between the three sections. +I like the ideas you had and how you used the CB topics in order to carry them out (like with greet name conditional)

Suggestions: -Perhaps just, in the future, expand the functionality of the greet even frther. Where perhaps users who have commented (or maybe even teachers and such) can type their name and be taken to whatever we may have on the website on them. Just some PBL ideas for the future.

Comments and peer grade for Allison's video:

OVERALL AVERAGE SCORE: _/6

1. Aadya:

Overall Score 5.75/6 Conditionals: 2/2. This topic connects to the CB topic, as it incorporates the logic behind it. There is the use of IF something is true, do this. ELSE, do this.

Iteration: 1.75/2. There is a connection to CB on how loops are used. There is a clear understanding of why loops are used as well. However, in the video, the actual loop isn't seen; we see where the loop is invoked.

Data Abstraction: 2/2. Data abstraction from CB is shown using variables. I think that the example picked for a good choice, as it shows the efficiency of variables.

Positives:

• The explanations of the code was very clear, and easy to follow.
• I like how you started with the problem we were facing, and then explained how the CB topics helped us solve it.
• The explanations on why we use iteration, and the significance of it was good.

Suggestions:

• Just make sure to know the difference between the actual creation of a loop, and the invocation of it.

2. Athena:

Overall score: 6/6

• Conditionals: links to the college board topic and explains the connection. Very clear tour of code. Have discussed how if then statements are used. (2/2)
• Iteration: Connects with college board topic. Demonstrates how this helps the programmers save some work. Good explanation of the code. (2/2)
• Data abstraction: Connects with college board topic. Very clear explanation of how abstraction is used in the code.

Positives:

• I like that you showed how your code works on the website. I think this gives the viewer a better understanding of the product of the code.
• I like how you explained your code. You explained in detail what each line of code leads to. For example, talking about if the n is greater than zero (the button is clicked) then shift. I think this will allow the viewer to understand your logic of coding while they don't have to read through the lines one by one.
• I liked how you discussed the issues that we faced when making the grayscale and how you fixed the issue through the use iterations and loops.

Suggestion:

• I would suggest that you can explain a little more in the iteration section. I like how you explained that the loops allow the program to run multiple times with less code but I think it will be better if you can explain how the loop fixes the problem that you mentioned (that we could not get grayscale to be individual)

OVERALL AVERAGE SCORE: 6/6

1. Allison: Overall score: 6/6
   • Conditionals: Makes a lot of sense, very thorough in explanation of the taking in of user input as explained in the binary.html. Very thorough explanation of the ASCII and 3.6 conditionals (2/2)
   • Iteration: Good that you explained how iteration actually connects to the binary (3.8). Shows the benefits of this to the "lazy programmer" and the for loops. (2/2)
   • Lists: Looks good, really crisp connection of PBL and college board topic- essentially it is good that the college board topic is uniquely and seamlessly fit into project (2/2).

Positives:

• Very thorough step by step information and explanation of code. It was very easy to tell what each line of code meant and very clear to understand that you knew what each line did. It was great that all of your topics were intertwined with your PBL purpose. I also liked your speed and pacing throughout.

Improvements: Next time you could maybe show brief runtimes of the code. It would help the viewer understand better what the code actually runs.

2. Athena: Overall score: 6/6
   • Conditionals: links to the college board topic and explains the connection. Very thorough connection and explanation made. Very clear tour of code. (2/2)
   • Iteration: links to the college board topic and explains the connection. Very clear tour of code. Explains well and demonstrates how this helps the programmers save time. (2/2)
   • Lists: links to the college board topic and explains the connection. Very clear tour. (2/2)

Positives:

• I love how you explained the conditionals. I think you did a great job when you stated the issue that you faced and the solution that you came up with. I like how you explained that since the ascii is the same from 0 to 127, you wrote a conditional based on that and wrote a separate conditional for numbers greater than 128.
• I like how you explain your codes, going through each line at a time and explaining the logic behind each line and explain what each line of code codes for.
• I think you did great in connecting your codes with college board topics. Furthermore, you gave detailed descriptions on how each code you covered connects to the college board topic.

Suggestion:

• I would suggest that you show how the code works on the page of the website. For example, demonstrate to the viewer how ascii gives NPC for numbers greater than 128 and values for numbers between 0 and 127. I think this would give the view a clearer idea of what the end result is.

3. Gaurish: Overall Score: 6/6 -Conditionals(3.6):I like your explanation of your function that would print Unicode value is less than 128. Otherwise, it would print NPC, which clearly shows that you have mastery of the code and connect to the CB topic. (2/2) -Iteration(3.8): I like how you explain the unsigned addition on the binary page. You very clearly explain the use of the for loop for the bits. Good connection to 'lazy programmer' and CB (2/2) -Lists(3.10): I like how you explain the use of the lists and it's applications based on ID+ connection to CB (2/2)

Positives: +Really great job with your explanations of the conditional, you made it very clear to understand not only how it worked, but also the broader purpose of the statement in the context of what you were trying to do. +I like your coding since you are clearly trying to be as efficient as possible, meaning that you are not afraid to create a function or loop in order to not repeat unnecessary code +Great connections, and very explicit, to CB that made it easy to follow along with your presentation and showed that you really took in what we've learned Constructive Suggestions: -It would be good to see the runtime of how the code works (or even if it may not) on the website so that we can verify that the code not only looks great but is functional as well. Also, for your conditional, it would be interesting to see perhaps an integration of a nested conditional with respect to maximizing efficiency. It could be something simple, but really just to show complete mastery.

Comments and peer grade for Gaurish's video:

OVERALL AVERAGE SCORE: 6/6

1. Aadya:

Overall Score: 6/6

Variables: 2/2. The topic is well connected to college board, as it is successful and accurate. Also, there seems to be a clear understanding on how variables work.

Boolean Expressions: 2/2. There is a direct connection to CB. There are uses of the Boolean expressions, and commands that say "if this is true AND/OR this is true...". The explanation of this is very clear.

Nested Conditionals: 2/2. The connection to Nested conditionals on college board is clear. Concepts we learned are implemented in code. There seems to be a clear understanding of nested conditionals as the code successful finds the range of a number.

Positives:

• The logic gate page is very user friendly, and is very practical, as users can have multiple opinions.
• I think that the idea of averaging all the faces to a final face is very unique and creative.
• Your explanation for all the code was very clear, and simple. Also, it was easy to follow since the code was formatted well.

Suggestions:

• I noticed that you have a conditional for each of the questions, so there are 3 conditionals for the three questions. I think that you should create a function here, that replicates the same conditional for however many questions that there are.

2. Athena:

Overall: 6/6

• variables: Connects with college board topics and very clear tour of code. (2/2)
• boolean expressions: Connects with college board topics and explains the AND and OR statements used in the code. Explanation of code is clear and easy to understand (2/2)
• nested conditionals: Clear connection to college board topic. Demonstrated how conditionals are used in the code. Great tour of code. (2/2)

Positives:

• I liked that you gave an overview at the beginning of the video. This makes it clear to the viewer as to what they can expect to see in the video.
• I liked how you explain the purpose of creating the function that you did. For example, in the feedback page, you explained the reason that you added the function: there could be scenarios where the student likes the class but does not like the teacher.
• Your explanation for codes are very clear and I think that makes it really easy for the viewer to understand your logic behind the codes.

Suggestion:

• You could maybe discuss more on the codes since you had spent some time on explaining the website and showing how it works. Personally, I really like that you had showed how the website worked with such detail but for the purpose of this assignment, I would suggest that you spend more time on explaining the code.

3. Allison:

Overall: 6/6

1. Booleans: Good connection between PBL and topic. It was clear how your PBL code was an application of the conditional topics (2/2).
2. Nested Conditionals: Used in the average of the integers for the PBL smiley face generator. Super cool how this applied to the project and clear explanation of the lines of code and how they connected. (2/2).
3. Variables: Very obvious how variables were used. Clear explanation of multiple variables in the project that made sense with PBL topics (2/2).

Positives: I liked how all the explanations gelled perfectly with the PBL and the college board topics. I figure that this would be a very useful topic to encounter in a class rating/help software, so it was perfect how the PBL and CB topics could mesh. I liked the flair you brought throughout your presentation- I was really struck by the WOW and passion.

Suggestions: Some explanations became rather brief with the code. A lot of passion with the runtime, but could spend a little more time taking about code.

Allison

Glows - Conditionals was used with relation to shift mini lab. Introduction was done through demo, which was nice. Language is very strong on talking about things like parsing, shift, if statements, else conditions. Intro to iteration talked about RGB labs and challenges, nice hook. Benefit of iteration established on writing code once. Conversions and abstraction language referring to functions and conversion was again positive language. 
Grows. No association with single button and multiple button gray scale was clarified. I would have liked to see you share something that was not a mini lab. -.2
 5.8/6

[jm1021]

Gaurish

Glows - Variables. Passionate and showing a self made PBL form, looks like it is built on logic gates. Natural transition to nested conditionals and it looks very much like college board.
Grows - Time and excitement kind of conflicted. As I probably would have like to see a second runtime and unique theme. I kind of lost one of your points as I was taking notes. Perhaps point was to subtle in presentation -.25
 5.75/6

[B-G101]

Athena

Glows - Explanation of the Lists code was extremely detailed and you did a great job of going line by line and explain what the code does and using the proper language. I like how the examples you presented all help with the usability of your website. You did a good job of citing the specific connections between the code and the College Board Material during the Conditionals. Grows - The greet function that you showed in the video is more from the minilab and doesn't necessarily show evidence of PBL. Maybe try making the formatting of the greet more related to the overarching theme of the website. The final Variables example was not related to the PBL. -.2 5.8/6
