The Assignment Portfolio consists of three things: Programming Assignments (PA), BuddyChecks (BC) and Group Assignments (GA). As such, it is based on individual and group work.
In particular, the Group Assignments consist of the following weekly elements:
1. A set of digitial files that you submit every Friday at the end of the in-class sessions (except Weeks 1.2 and 1.3).
1. A set of digital files that you submit every Friday at the end of the in-class sessions (except Weeks 1.2 and 1.3).
2. BuddyCheck, a weekly questionnaire administered via Brightspace to evaluate yourself and your group members.
3. Weekly reflections to improve the performance of your group and keep issues from becoming serious; recommended to occur at the beginning of the Wednesday in-class sessions, but this can be flexible.
Key components of the Assignment Portfolio are described below.

## Programming Assignments (PA)
A Programming Assignment is provided each week to introduce a few relevant concepts that are expected to be applied directly in the Group Assignment for that week. Programming Assignments are automatically graded after submitting them to GitLab and are assessed on a pass/no pass basis. You may resubmit as many times as needed to pass the assignment before the deadline at the end of each quarter.

Programming Assignments are automatically graded after submitting them to GitLab and are assessed on a pass/no pass basis. You may resubmit as many times as needed to pass the assignment before the deadline at the end of each quarter; the Friday deadline is only a recommendation for when you should complete the PA.
You do not have to submit PA 1.1 and 1.2.
Programming Assignments will be checked for a passing grade periodically throughout each week; **additional information will be provided later in Q1.**
You can generally check whether you passed a PA by checking if your _most recent_ GitHub Actions workflow has passed. (a green check mark). The status of your PA will be periodically updated in BrightSpace to help you get an overview of your status.
## Peer Feedback with Buddycheck
## Peer Feedback with Buddycheck (BC)
*Buddycheck* is a learning tool designed to help peer evaluation amongst your group in a constructive and transparent way. A Buddycheck form must be submitted every week (you will recieve an announcement via Brightspace).

To help you get familiar with notebooks and how they can be used to write readable reports, we will slowly introduce concepts to you throughout the module. For example, the Group Assignments during Weeks 1.1 and 1.2 will give you a mostly-completed notebook to start with, whereas by the end of Q2 you may be creating notebooks and Markdown files from scratch.
**This section will be updated later in Q1, as the first two weeks are used to get you used to the Group Assignment format.**
GA's will be graded by assigning a single number to represent overall performance, either a: 0, 3, 6, 7.5, 9 or 10. The number is assigned based on document formatting, clarity of responses, insight and interpretation and (especially) whether the analysis was completed correctly. A feedback document will be provided on this website (Files page) and together with the solution you can use this to identify where your points of improvement are. The purpose of this system is to provide you feedback quickly and in a simple way, while still being able to easily check where your work could have been improved.
