standards matrix

The following list contains links to artifacts which exemplify the standards listed. Within each section there is a definition of what the standard is, a link to the relevant artifacts, a note for each artifact that indicates which portions were done by myself (solo) or which were done in collaboration with someone else in the program (group). The final part of each page contains a reflection which explains what problems arose, how they were solved and what I learned in the process.
