>  I will collect input from you some time next week.  The inputs are: 
>  (a) a score between 0-10 (inclusive, 10 being the best), and (b) any 
>  (optional) feedback you might have for the students. 
>   
>  (I might adjust your scores a little to make things more equal across 
>  the board.) 
>   
>  In their proposal slides from the beginning of the semester, they 
>  should have said what they plan to have done by this checkpoint. 
>  While the plan is certainly not meant to be cast in stone and you 
>  don't have to look over them, you may decide to base part of your 
>  scores on how close they are to what they promised.  In addition to 
>  the proposal slides, you can also find online their presentations 
>  captured in .avi movie formats.
