So often our time in the classroom is spent on getting the syntax right, or tracking down logic errors that there's little time encouraging or developing good programming habits.
I put this together for some of my students to help focus their attention on "code smells" following feedback on code I was reviewing for feedback.
It might be of use to others and/or prompt further discussion and improvement.
