Watch the demonstration modules\n\n- You'll eventually find demonstration modules for each of the assignments. You can use these to compare designs. \n\n### 2. Get feedback on your work\n\n- **First, get the assignment hashtag**: Each assignment has a hashtag to uniquely identify it (ie: #palindromeChecker). You can find this in the readme for each assignment. Grab this.\n- **Then, get your start/end commits**: Your commits to GitHub and then navigate to the 'Commits' page. Find the commits that mark the start and end of the assignment you want to review.\n- **Finally, submit for feedback**: Post to [#course-chat](https://discord.com/channels/997940575590416435/1074124524632674335) for feedback from myself, the alumni, and the other community members.\n\nHere's an example:\n\n\u003e \"I just finished #palindromeChecker here. Would love some feedback on my commits. Start (\\\u003cinsert link to first commit\u003e), end (\\\u003cinsert link to end commit\u003e). Cheers!\n\n### 3. Review a submission\n\n- **Get to the Discord**: Go into the [#course-chat](https://discord.com/channels/997940575590416435/1074124524632674335) channel.\n- **Find other submissions**: Use the assignment hashtag name to find other submissions. While in the channel, you can use CMD/CTRL + F to bring up the finder in Discord. Type in the hashtag to find other submissions. Find one and pull it up.\n- **Two things they did well**: Read through their commits, from the starting one and look for 2 things you think they did well. Leave a comments to start a discussion.\n- **Two things you found interesting or might do differently \u0026 why**: Look for 2 parts of their design you either found interesting and start a discussion or comment how you might have implemented things differently. Feel free to tag Khalil (@stemmlerjs), Daniel (@iPwnPancakes), or Tony (@TonyToth) for comments as well.\n\n### 4. Design it twice (do it again)\n\n- The last thing you can do is something John Ousterhout recommends, that I highly agree with: _design it twice_. Do it again. You've likely learned things you'd do differently. Drill it again. Programming is very much a tactile \u0026 pattern-matching activity. You just need reference experiences.\n  \n## How to deal with snags\n\n- If you get stuck or run into any issues, use the [#course-chat](https://discord.com/channels/997940575590416435/1074124524632674335) channel in Discord to discuss so we can refine things and make 'em smoother.\n\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkenfdev%2Fthe-software-essentialist","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fkenfdev%2Fthe-software-essentialist","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkenfdev%2Fthe-software-essentialist/lists"}
