Unfortunately, due to the current pandemic, we lost access to the lab and materials we were working with. This forced us to adapt our project and focus on remote work. We still managed to finish all of the requirements for analyzing the two exercises we chose, and our website provides all of the feedback we wanted to give our users. Finally, our machine learning managed to correctly classify 97
