   • Attributions: Did anyone help you? Give credit to any classmates, articles, tutorials, etc that helped you complete this project.
   • Journal: Include self-assessments, observations, research, etc under the heading "Code Journal".

Points will be deducted for code that is too similar to examples shown in class or is uncommented.
