I think I missed something in translation.
Students received an email several weeks about about changes to the Udacity site, where we could now submit our projects directly through the site, rather than via email. I already had a few in the pipeline, so I expected that any evaluations would be coming back via email as well, if I sent them in that way.
Apparently, the evaluations will be coming via the site now. I do like the new Udacity FEND site layout. I also appreciate the fact that you can access the evaluation wherever you can get the site (rather than trying to check several different email accounts waiting for a response), but I think it needs to be clearer that the evaluations will be coming from the site now. As such, my evaluation for project 4 was sitting there since December 11th, and I had no idea.
This new process could be something I completely missed in the email, and I'll take blame for that oversight. In any case, I now have my evaluation and a list of things that need to be addressed in Project 4.
The biggest issue that I can see with my submission, is omitting the full Grunt/gulp/other process automations, which caused things like minimized CSS/JS to be "missing". Apparently minimizing files is part of the content efficiency that is talked about in the course, but not really detailed as such in the rubric.
I am considering redoing the entire project using gulp, for two reasons.
- It should allow me to learn how to use such build tools in the content efficiency process, and make it easier to adapt this process to future projects (I suspect project 5 will make good use of this as well).
- It will help me to meet more of the Udacious level requirements for this project.
It looks less and less likely that I will be done by the end of January (a personal goal), but the rework will be worth it to learn these lessons.
