+CS122 Assignment 1 - NanoDB Set-Up and Storage Layer - Design Document
+======================================================================
+
+Fill in answers for all questions based on your team's work on Assignment 1.
+
+A:  Deleting and Updating Tuples
+--------------------------------
+
+A1.  Briefly describe (1-3 sentences) how you reclaim slot entries in the
+     slotted page.  Which slot entries are you able to reclaim?  Which
+     entries are unable to be reclaimed?
+
+A2.  Briefly outline the steps of what your setNullColumnValue() function
+     does.  You don't have to go into much detail; we can look at your
+     code for the details.  Just describe the basic things the function
+     must do to set a column-value to NULL.
+
+A3.  Similarly, briefly outline the steps of what your
+     setNonNullColumnValue() function does.
+
+B:  Unpinning Tuples and Pages
+------------------------------
+
+B1.  Briefly describe your strategy for determining when tuples need to be
+     unpinned.  Make sure to comment on both plan-nodes and commands.
+
+B2.  In general, you only need to worry about unpinning tuples because the
+     backing page will also be unpinned.  However, there are some situations
+     when DBPages themselves must be unpinned directly.  Describe any such
+     situations where you unpin pages directly in your implementation, and
+     why you do so.  (Make sure to answer this question in the context of
+     your insert-optimization changes, not the initial state of the code.)
+
+C:  NanoDB Storage Performance
+------------------------------
+
+C1.  In 3-6 sentences, describe your general approach for improving the
+     performance of inserts, including what general file-level structuring
+     you use of blocks.
+
+C2.  Does your file-level organization have the potential to increase the
+     number of large disk seeks when performing inserts?  What steps do
+     you take, if any, to reduce the number of disk seeks?
+
+C3.  The storage layer records a number of statistics, e.g. pagesRead,
+     pagesWritten, fileChanges, and fileDistanceTraveled.  What changes in
+     these statistics did your team observe after changing the heap-file
+     implementation?  Explain why you believe these to be improvements.
+
+C4.  Describe your criteria for when a page is considered to be "full."
+
+C5.  What steps must be taken during a tuple-delete operation to update
+     your file-level structures?  How many pages must be written to?
+
+C6.  What steps must be taken after a tuple-insert operation that fills
+     the data page?
+
+C7.  An update operation has the potential to grow or shrink a page.  How
+     does your code ensure that updates are handled properly?
+
+E:  Feedback [OPTIONAL]
+-----------------------
+
+WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK!  Thoughtful and constructive input will help us to
+improve future versions of the course.  These questions are OPTIONAL, and
+your answers will not affect your grade in any way (including if you hate
+everything about the assignment and databases in general, or Donnie and/or
+the TAs in particular).  Feel free to answer as many or as few of them as
+you wish.
+
+E1.  What parts of the assignment were most time-consuming?  Why?
+
+E2.  Did you find any parts of the assignment particularly instructive?
+     Correspondingly, did any parts feel like unnecessary busy-work?
+
+E3.  Did you particularly enjoy any parts of the assignment?  Were there
+     any parts that you particularly disliked?
+
+E4.  Were there any critical details that you wish had been provided with the
+     assignment, that we should consider including in subsequent versions of
+     the assignment?
+
+E5.  Do you have any other suggestions for how future versions of the
+     assignment can be improved?

+CS122 Assignment 1 - NanoDB Set-Up and Storage Layer - Logistics
+================================================================
+
+Please completely fill out this document so that we know who participated on
+the assignment, any late extensions received, and how much time the assignment
+took for your team.  Thank you!
+
+L1.  List your team name and the people who worked on this assignment.
+
+     <team name>
+
+     <name>
+     <name>
+     ...
+
+L2.  Specify the commit-hash of the Git commit you are submitting for your
+     assignment.  (You can list the hashes of your commits with the command
+     "git log".)
+
+     Commit hash:  <hash>
+
+L3.  Specify how many late tokens you are applying to this assignment, if any.
+     Similarly, if your team received an extension from Donnie then please
+     indicate how many days extension you received.  You may leave this blank
+     if it is not relevant to this submission.
+
+     <tokens / extension>
+
+L4.  For each teammate, briefly describe what parts of the assignment each
+     teammate focused on, along with the total hours spent on the assignment.
