Ass 1: some of you still have not passed
some of you have forgotten (?) to notify me about any updated versions of your ass 1 reports. You can see who by checking if you have passed (got a "G") ass 1 or not on this page:
http://www.cs.umu.se/kurser/TDBD07/VT06/results/assignments_results.html
You need to send me an email when you have a new version of the ass 1 report adjusted according to my comments. My guess is that most of you have done the adjustments but have forgotten to tell me about it. Don't forget to send me a link to the report!

General comments on your ass 1 submissions
These comments are a) to be reviewed by you before resubmitting your ass 1 reports (those of you who got an "O", meaning that the report is incomplete), b) to be reviewed by all of you before submitting your ass 2 and ass 3 work.
1) Spell check.
2) Use figures, photos, and tables when appropriate. Especially for summarizing important sections of your document. Sometimes a picture or a table can really say a lot.
3) Make sure the following is included in the very beginning of your report: your full names, _CS_ email addresses (_not_ your yahoo addresses or whatever other email addresses you might have), assignment number, document title, course name, and submission date.
4) Make sure to have a proper reference list in the end of your document to which you refer to from within the text in order to strengthen your argumentation. The reader has to convince the critical reader of your documents about your opinions. Without references to other people and invetsigations that stregthens your points, and/or without a proper argumentation why things should be done in the way you think (or why they are like the way you say they are) your work will have low value scientifically.
5) Your submission should be in an open "online" format, i.e. HTML, PHP, etc. The only exception is PDF which can be considered an offline format but is still acceptable based on its wide use on the web and the fact that readers are free. Microsoft Word is _not_ OK as a submission format.
