  1. On layout: follow template; On content: very focused to a clear problem, would have been most impfactful with the inclusion of clarity on types of nefarious users and their particular imputs to address variation of inputs and type of user

  2. Very unique and novel problem to approach. The UI/UX took points off due to no representation or example of usecase or users. Teamwork took points since commits came from one user.

  3. Novel problem and solid approach, and the technical details shows off a strong understanding of the relevant research question. However, the submission is more like a paper than a technical solution. Adding a video demonstration and showing the UI would be very helpful for understanding

  4. I would to get information for my own learners
