The final project is designed to provide you an opportunity to integrate and extend knowledge acquired throughout the course and to apply that knowledge to solve a problem of substantial scope. You are required to work in groups of three, and should plan to devote time approximately equal to two homework assignments (multiplied by three people). Experience suggests that successful teams require expertise in design, implementation, and project management.
Accompanying each project will be a presentation Wednesday, 12/10. Each group will get ten minutes to present their work, followed by five minutes for questions.
Projects are required to make substantial use of at least two of the following technologies introduced in the course, integrated in a manner that is appropriate for the intended application:
Projects must be designed to address an information-related problem and are required to have substantial content. If you have questions regarding scope, please ask me.
It is recommended that you structure your ten-minute presentation into two separate parts, a PowerPoint presentation and a demo of your project (although how long you devote to each would depend on the project). Your presentation should address the following questions:
Of course, different groups will devote more or less time to each of these, and some groups will add other things. There is no cookbook recipe for a good project. The key is to learn a lot, and to describe what you have learned!
The final project will be worth 35% of your total grade. The breakdown of the grade will be as follows:
| Criteria | Points |
| Content | 3 |
| Technology | 6 |
| Interface | 3 |
| Oral Presentation | 3 |
| Total | 15 |
