Now the end of the semester is fast approaching I thought I would post what will be due at the end of the semester. In addition to the weekly progress reports, we will have three items due on 5/12 consisting of a final post, a group demo/presentation, and a final email each described below
Final Posts
Final posts should will be longer and more comprehensive than our regular weekly posts.
First, make a video of your work. It should be between 1-3 minutes in length. Put text and/or voice over when appropriate. The video should give people who are unfamiliar with your project a better understanding of what you did. Upload your video to youtube or viemo and embed the video into the post by simply pasting the url in the text.
Next, in the text, answer these questions:
- Describe the operation of your final project. What does it do and how does it work?
- Describe each team-members role as well as contributions to the project.
- As a team, describe what are your feelings about your project? Are you happy, content, frustrated, etc.?
- What were the largest hurdles you encountered in your project and how did you overcome these obstacles?
- How well did your project meet your original project description and goals?
- If you had more time, what would you do next on your project?
Final Demos and Presentations
We will have a final presentation event during our assigned timeslot.
5/12/2014, Monday
5:05PM – 7:05PM
NANCY NICHOLAS HALL 1125
Your presentation can follow the questions in the final post. Each group member should present information. Be sure to describe your contributions to the project as each team member will be graded both individually and as a team.
After each group presents they will give a demo to the class such that everyone can try it out. This demo is part of your grade so make sure you have something that works.
Final Email
The last step of the this process is to send me an email. This is your chance to give feedback in a way that will be kept confidential. Emails need to only answer each question, but can be as long or short as you want. Emails should include:
- Your personal thoughts and feelings on the project
- Your opinion of the about the team dynamics of your group
- Your opinion if everyone in your group contributed to the project
- Your opinion if everyone in your group should receive the same grade
Optional If you would like to, you can also provide class feedback. You can answer any of the question below, or simply write freely.
- What things in the class worked and do you think should continue?
- What things in the class do you feel did not work?
- What things in the class do you think would be beneficial to add in the future?
- Are there readings that would have liked to see earlier or later in the semester?
- Are there other topics you would have liked to have read about more?
These emails will be due after our presentations,and need to be sent by no later than Monday May 12th at 11:59pm.
