Before Recitation

This recitation will focus on this year's design project. It will help if you've read the DP spec before this recitation, which will release on 2/21.

At this point in the class, the DP spec will be overwhelming, and you won't know how to solve the problem we're asking you to solve. That is normal and expected. It wouldn't be a very good semester-long project if you could already complete it! We've built this recitation, the following tutorial, and the first DP deliverable just to help you get comfortable with the spec itself.

Question for Recitation: Before you come to this recitation, you'll turn in a brief answer to the following questions (really—we don't need more than a sentence or so for each question). Your TA will be in touch about exactly how to turn that in.

• What types of challenges do you expect to come up while completing this (team-based) design project?
• How will you address those challenges?
• Why do we design large systems in teams?
