 Do you require that projects be submitted with a clearly written 
 cover memo / executive summary as well as documentation? 

 Has anyone experimented with a series of projects where a student is 
 required to use a routine from project N-1 that was written by another 
 student, to emphasize the need for clarity and documentation? 

 Does anyone use teams / collaborative learning in their CS classes?
