People think that computer science is the art of geniuses but the actual reality is the opposite, just many people doing things that build on each other, like a wall of mini stones.

This week Assessment 1 will take place. You can continue working on your prototype for this assesment. In the lab we will focus on code reviewing each other.
Make sure you come to the assesment prepared in advance:
- Have a look at the rubic and grade yourself. Bring the filled in rubic to the oral test.
- Check out the checklist below the rubic. Did you forget anything?
Presenting your work is a skill all by itself, make sure you prepare yourself properly. The best way is to treat it as public speaking and there are many books on public speaking available.
- Bring your own computer and a charger.
- Have the latest version of your code ready in your editor.
- Open up your docs inside of your GitHub repository.
- Have a live version up and running.
- Stuck? See the Bugs section of the course readme to find a list of troubleshooting tips
