+# Dice Lab Assessment
+
+Everything works as expected. Nice work!
+
+## Checkpoint 1
+
+Checking the endpoints of the range (e.g. `listOfFaces[0] == listOfFaces[1] 
+and listOfFaces[0] == listOfFaces[2]` was a clever way to accomplish this.
+
+## Checkpoint 2
+
+The content of your docstrings looks good. However, most are above their function
+rather than inside it. This technically works, but defeats some of the purpose of 
+docstrings, as there are automated tools that use them and expect to find them in 
+the right place. 
+
+## Checkpoint 3
+
+Looks good. Just looking at your code for small straight, I wasn't sure it was correct, 
+so I wrote a few simple tests in `test_small_straight.py`. Everything works :)
+
+## Comments
+
+Thanks for thoughtful log messages. Indeed, D&D and other games are often excellent contexts
+for OOP.
