🔍 Sprint 3 Observations

Build: ✅ Clean build passes. Uses ControlsFX and Ikonli for rich UI components (Material Design icons).
Run: ✅ The app launches successfully as "StudyQuest" (500×600). Notes management and quiz interface work.
Features visible: Notes upload/download, AI-powered quiz generation, flashcard mode, intelligent calendar with study scheduling, and quiz reminders.
Database: H2 embedded database with Hibernate 6.1.2 ORM. Also uses local file storage for notes.
Test suite: ✅ 10 tests across 5 test files, all passing. Tests cover: FileService (2), QuizHomeBusinessLogic (4), QuizController (2), and I18n (2). 5 test files
i18n: ✅ Supports 2 languages (English, Spanish) with messages_en.properties and messages_es.properties. Has a dedicated I18nTest verifying translations.
AI/LLM Integration: ✅ Uses Google Gemini (via com.google.genai SDK) for quiz question generation from uploaded files. Supports gemini-2.5-flash and gemini-2.5-flash-lite models. API key managed via config.properties.
Design Patterns: ✅ Three patterns: Builder (EventInput.Builder), Decorator (CalendarManagerDecorator — the only team using this pattern), and Repository (LocalFileRepository).

📊 Final Scores

Member	Score	Rationale
Hugo Vargas	9/10	59.1h actual. Owned local storage prototype, main branch updates, and UI implementation structure. Received perfect 10/10 peer rating — the highest on the team.
Xavier Naveros	7/10	34.4h actual. Built QuizController, FlashcardController, login/register, and UserDBAccess. Received 7/10 peer rating.
Marcel Then	6/10	215.8h logged — unrealistically high (equivalent to 7.7h/day for 28 days straight). Built calendar view and quiz/files UI. Hours inflation detracts from otherwise solid UI work.
Mario Combarro	6/10	17.3h actual. Implemented Gemini AI quiz generation. Received 7/10 peer rating. Narrower scope than teammates.

Team baseline: Google Gemini AI integration, Decorator pattern (only team), ControlsFX + Ikonli rich UI. 10/10 tests passing. ⚠️ No estimates entered; hours data quality concerns (350h total). Only 2-language i18n.
