Didst thou ever see a white bear? cried my father, turning his head round to Trim, who stood at the back of his chair:——No, an' please your honor, replied the corporal.——But thou could'st discourse about one, Trim, said my father, in case of need?——How is it possible, brother, quoth my uncle Toby, if the corporal never saw one?——'Tis the fact I want, said my father—and the possibility of it, is as follows.

Summary of Requirements for Group Projects

Two things to note here:
(1) I neglected to put the points for the self-assessment on the handout you got on Friday: that part is worth 10 points.
(2) The points add up to 65, not 60 as per the syllabus.  I'm okay with that, since the five surplus points come from the "citizenship" component--they will function as extra credit for the people who pull their weight, and a double-penalty for those who screw up the group's score by their negligence.
