Weekly Audit Log

An ongoing record of your close reading of each week's notice, kept from week 2 through to the final week

Due: 24 May 2027 · Weight: 20%

Read this week’s notice the way it was written to be read: the pitch first, the breaking changes second. Then write down the one sentence you’re least sure you’d trust either way, and why.

The log is the habit underneath every other assessment in this course. It isn’t a summary of each lecture — a marker can already read the lecture — it’s a record of what you noticed that the notice itself doesn’t say out loud: where a claim in the pitch and a claim in the breaking-changes section would need to disagree, where a rollback plan is quietly doing less work than it sounds like, where “the pitch is true” and “the migration is a good idea” have come apart.

What you submit#

One dated entry per week, from week 2 through week 12 (eleven entries; week 1 is the worked example and doesn’t need one). Two to four sentences each — this is a habit, not an essay. Submit the whole log as a single document at the end of week 12.

An entry is doing its job if a reader who hasn’t seen that week’s notice could tell, from your entry alone, what claim you were checking and why it mattered. “This week’s notice was interesting” is not an entry; “the rollback plan says the skills are easy to rebuild but never addresses the trust it costs, and that’s the harder half” is.
