Peer Review for Project 3

In peer review, I heard that I have a good start for my presentation, and that I’m doing a good job of sticking to the 1/1/15 format. I need to make some tweaks to my presentation, more pictures on certain slides would do well visually because some of them seem a little bare right now. […]

Putting Project 3 Together
