This little repo is your guide to homework submission at Hack Your Future Belgium.
The main tool for keeping track of your homework is the check-off table. You will use them to track your overall progress in the class wiki. You will be filling out a lot of these over the next 6 months. 💦
But don't sweat too hard! These tables aren't so complicated after all. On the left side you indicate what you have finished and post any extra comments, on the right side the coach will check off your homework and leave you any extra comments

(Don't panic yet!. The rest of this repo will explain in detail how to use these tables.)
As a coach checking over so many homeworks, it can be difficult to remember who said what and whether a comment has been addressed or not.
For example: a student might mark their homework as finished and leave a nice comment - "I am done!". The coach finds a mistake and leaves a note - ":exclamation:! check my PR". Coming back the next day it can be difficult to tell if the student's "I am done!" is still the old one of they have fixed the problem.
Enter: 🎈! Each time the student or coach leaves a new comment they will put a 🎈 in front of it. When the student or coach has read and addressed the comment they will delete the balloon from the comment.
