This is a friendly reminder that Monday, 11 August is our soft "pencils down" date. We suggest that students have completed their projects by this date and spend a week writing documentation and wrapping up their projects. We require that students stop all coding on 18 August.
Monday, 18 August at 19:00 UTC is when final evaluations open. Please consider this your reminder to submit your final evaluation by 22 August at 19:00 UTC so that you don't delay your students' final payments or possibly jeopardize your organization's attendance at the reunion.
I have updated the code submission guidelines and posted it on Melange for your reference. Code submission begins once students have received a passing grade on their final evaluations (after 22 August). The deadline is 19 September. One question students ask a lot is what portion of their code to submit if they made changes to an existing code base or their code interacts a lot with a system they didn't write. The answer is: use your best discretion. Have them submit the code that makes the most sense from a user's perspective. If students need help with code submission they should contact the Melange team at melange-soc-dev@googlegroups.com. - Google
