project: Tilde project tutorial: How to submit a link

Tags close_on_peer_reviews skill/starting_umuzi_basics

There are a few kinds of projects you can do, and they can be submitted in different ways. In this tutorial you’ll see how to submit a link.

Link projects expect you to submit a link to your work. If the instructions say you need to make a repo, then you’ll need to submit a link to your repo. If the instructions say you need to use Google Docs then you need to submit a link to your document.

Start the project

If you have not yet clicked the “start project” button for this card, do so now. You’ll see the card move to In Progress.

Now explore the card. Click on the details button and see what’s there.

Reviews

Whenever you do a project, someone (or something) will need to mark it. That’s what the Review column is for. You’ll get to see a little bit about how the Review column works as you move through this project.

Instructions

In this project you’ll be submitting a perfectly useless Google Doc.

  1. Go to https://docs.google.com/
  2. Choose to start a new document.
  3. Give it a title, for example “Perfectly useless doc”.
  4. Write some text. Whatever you want. Preferably something hilarious.
  5. Click the Share button.
  6. You’ll need to copy the available link. Make sure that sharing is set up so that anyone with the link can access the document!
  7. Now in Tilde, go to your card details and fill in your link.

Alrighty, once you are satisfied that your card is linked to the right document then you can request a review. When you request a review you are basically saying “I have followed the instructions and I think that my work is competent or excellent”.

The card will then pop across to the “Review” column. We’ll talk a little bit more about how review works in a little bit.

Common problems

Whenever you attach a link to a card, you need to make sure that whoever is reviewing your work can actually access the link.

  • If we ask you to link to a google document or sheet, make sure that anyone with the link has access.
  • If we ask you to link to absolutely anything, you need to make sure we can actually access your work.
  • If we ask you to link to a github repo, make sure the repo is public and not private. This will make sense to the coders among you pretty soon :)

The other common problem is people deleting their work. Once we have reviewed your work it is super duper important that you don’t change the privacy settings or delete it. We do interact with external assessors (that is why we are accredited!) so if we say a student is competent in something and we can’t prove it then that’s bad. In these cases we would expect you to redo the work.

Seriously, don’t delete stuff that you have submitted!

REALLY IMPORTANT

If you do a project, and you think you did it well, then you get to ask for a review. When you ask for a review then the project card will move to the “Review” column. We’ll practice this in a little bit :)

Once you put the card into the review column, someone (or something 🤖) will mark your work. Now one of two things can happen:

If you did the work well, then it will get moved to the “Complete” column.

If the project is not up to our standards (yet) then it will get moved to the “Review Feedback” column. IF this happens:

  • open up the card details page and read the feedback
  • update your project so it’s right
  • ask for another review

You can ask for as many reviews as you need

In case you are unsure, here’s a lil video tutorial to help you out :)
