 When you review the top 3 HW reports: Eml4500.f08 10:11, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * (0) The goal is to contribute to improve these top HW reports to make them useful for the class and for others in the future.
 * (1) Report any possible copyright violation and/or plagiarism in the submitted archived version by pointing out these violations in the current version using the comment box format such as this one; see an example.
 * (2) Report any possible errors (there could be many errors; be careful!) See my comments on some errors in this example. It is not possible for the TAs or me to detect all errors (time limitation), and hence plenty of opportunities for individual students to get some more HW credits; see below.
 * (3) Inform me and the TAs after you put a comment box in a top-3 HW report with the web address of your latest archived version of a top-3 HW report so to get some credits (thus improving your own HW grade). Be sure to log in with your wiki username and sign your comment with the "4-tildes" command to get the credit, and to number the errors.  Some points from the HW grade of the top-3 HW report with the error you detected would be transferred to your HW grade.
 * If more than one student work together to detect an error, then each of these students should individually sign in the error comment box to receive credits.
 * The top-3 teams can also protect their HW grades by detecting their own errors ahead of the class, following the same procedure described above.
 * If I detect an error after the TAs had identified the top-3 HW reports, but before the top-3 team with this error could correct this error, some points would be taken off from this top-3 team.
 * (4) All errors are reported in the HW report table by the error numbers linked to the archived HW report with the corresponding error comment boxes; see the table in user:eml4500.f08 and in user:eas4200c.f08.
 * (5) For serious violations (copyright, plagiarism), a top-3 HW report can be demoted with a much lower HW grade, as already mentioned in class.
 * (6) If you contribute to correct these errors, not just detecting these errors, you would get some more points, depending on how extensive and substantial your correction was. (If the top team with errors promptly correct their errors, they would get some points back.) When you correct an error, do NOT delete the error comment box; simply add to this box a comment that you had corrected the error, sign with the 4-tildes command, and e-mail me and the TAs the archived version with your correction.
 * (7) If you make improvements to a top HW reports, report your improvements in comment boxes, and e-mail to me and the TAs the archived version with your improvements. Points will be given to substantial improvements.
