Peer Reviews for LightsOut --- Instructions
Goal of this exercise:
Help you see the variety of designs and implementations possible in LightsOut.
You get to see other students' projects.
Help you improve your own ability to write documentation and clear, correct code.
It is much easier to think about issues of clarity and readability when you are dealing with unfamiliar code.
Things that you wrote will almost always seem clear to you.
Give you lots of useful feedback on your LightsOut project.
You will get feedback from multiple perspectives instead of only from a grader.
What is a peer review?
Your instructor will discuss this with you.
