+\item Follows writing checklist (full checklist provided in a separate document)
+ \begin{todolist}
+ \item \LaTeX{} points
+ \item Structure
+ \item Spelling, grammar, attention to detail
+ \item Avoid low information content phrases
+ \item Writing style
+ \end{todolist}
+
+\item MIS syntax
+ \begin{todolist}
+ \item Exported constants are ``hard-coded'' literal values, not variables.
+ Constants are values that are known at specification (and therefore compile) time
+ \item
+ \end{todolist}
+
+\item MIS Module Classifications
+ \begin{todolist}
+ \item Types that only hold data (records) are modelled as exported types. For
+ instance, the StdntAllocTypes module in A2:
+ \url{https://gitlab.cas.mcmaster.ca/smiths/se2aa4_cs2me3/blob/master/Assignments/A2/A2.pdf})
+ \item Types that have data (state) and behaviour are modelled as ADTs. The
+ MIS should use the keyword \textbf{Template}. An example is the BoardT ADT
+ given at
+ \url{https://gitlab.cas.mcmaster.ca/smiths/se2aa4_cs2me3/blob/master/Assignments/A3/A3Soln/A3P1_Spec.pdf}
+ \item Abstract objects are used when there is only one instance. There is
+ state and behaviour. This most
+ often comes up for ``global'' reader and writer modules. For instance, a
+ module that does logging. Abstract objects do NOT use the word Template in
+ the main header. An example is given in the SALst module of A2:
+ \url{https://gitlab.cas.mcmaster.ca/smiths/se2aa4_cs2me3/blob/master/Assignments/A2/A2.pdf}
+ \item Library modules are used when there is only behaviour, no state. They
+ are defined as Modules, but State Variables and Environment Variable
+ fields say ``None.''
+ \item If the module's MIS can be parameterized by type, then the keyword
+ \textbf{Generic} is used. Generic modules are usually also Template
+ modules, but not necessarily. An example is given in the Generic Stack
+ Module (Stack(T)) given in A3:
+ \url{https://gitlab.cas.mcmaster.ca/smiths/se2aa4_cs2me3/blob/master/Assignments/A3/A3Soln/A3P1_Spec.pdf}
+ \end{todolist}
+
+\item MIS Semantics for each module
+ \begin{todolist}
+ \item Each access program does something - either an output, or a state
+ transition
+ \item Access programs either change the state of something, or have an output.
+ Only rarely should an access program do both (as it does for the constructor
+ in an ADT.)
+ \item If there is an entry in the state transition, then the state of
+ something changes. The state change might be the local state variables, the
+ state variables for another module, or an environment variable.
+ \item Outputs use $out := ...$
+ \item Exceptions use $exc := ...$
+
+ \end{todolist}
+
+ \item Mathematical syntax
+ \begin{todolist}
+ \item Operations do not mix incorrect types. For instance, a character is
+ not added to an integer, an integer is not ``anded'' with a Boolean, etc.
+ \item Our modified Hoffmann and Strooper notation is used, or any new
+ notation is clearly defined.
+ \end{todolist}
+
+\item MIS Quality inspection for each module
+ \begin{todolist}
+ \item Minimality
+ \item
+ \end{todolist}
+
+\item MIS Completnesss
+ \begin{todolist}
+ \item All types introduced in the spec are defined somewhere
+ \item
