Overview of Critique Assignments

In 6.033 you'll complete a series of three critiques, designed to build analytical and communication skills. The first critique requires you to understand and assess a distributed system based on an analytical framework presented in the critique worksheet.

In the second critique (of a different system TBD), you'll use your answers to a similar worksheet to write a 2-3 page critique of the system. The third critique will take the form of a peer review of another team's Design Project Report. You'll receive instruction about each of these critiques as the semester progresses.

This Critique

For this first critique, you should evaluate and assess DNS using the critique worksheet (.docx). This worksheet walks you through the process of analyzing the system described lecture and in the textbook.

Submit your completed worksheet using our submission site (not Gradescope). Again, this assignment is due at 5:00pm on February 21st, not 11:59pm.
