Objectives¶
Every team starts the project by choosing the paper it will carry for the whole semester. The choice matters more than it looks: a good pick survives a semester of reading, rebuilding, and stress testing, and feeds every later checkpoint. This milestone has no code and no report. Its deliverable is the registration itself, and its real work is the deliberation that precedes it.
The selection form¶
After the registration¶
Form submissions flow into the Google Sheet linked to the form, and the instructor reviews the registrations there, accepting papers and marking the acceptances in the sheet itself. From that acceptance on, the paper binds the team for the rest of the semester, and a later change needs explicit instructor approval. Once the paper is accepted, the work moves to Reading the Paper, where the paper goes under the microscope.
