Marks criteria

Extern-projects

Instead of doing the last 3 homeworks can choose one of the several projects of your choice. Projects will be suggested later. Each project supposes work starting from the beginning of the semester. Finish the whole project in a couple of nights is pretty hard.

• Previous projects. Start from 17:45.
• Github-repo

Other options to pass the course:

• have a ready open-source project or abstracts for lightning-talk sessions of Java conferences
• Publication on Habr or other valuable IT-source
• have a record in the Central Maven Repository, where you will be recorded as the Developer of the project.

Home works

5 homeworks are planned. The check includes 2 stages:

1. Green tests in Yandex.Contest (HW-1,2)
2. Code review (HW-3,4,5). During the code review process, you receive feedback from the reviewer. It can be read on the page of your repository with DZ (Project -> Activity) or in automatic emails from automation@atp-fivt.org. Corrections on code review can be done within '1 month' after the 1st comment.
