Team Project - Requirements and
Grading Policy
A Team Project carries 30% of the grade. The project has to be proposed
by the team and approved by the instructor. All reports should be type written
double-spaced. Each student, based on performance and contribution, as indicated
by peer evaluation, will receive a percentage of their final team project
grade.
Students are encouraged to discuss the project details with the
instructor on a regular basis, during the semester. The objective of these
discussions is to explore various options and tradeoffs in design and
development of the project.
Scores: Initial report 7 pts; Development report 8 pts; Project refined report
7 pts; Demo 8 pts.
1. Project Team [Due: Jan. 31]
No more than 10 students may belong to a team. Each student of a team
will be a project developer, and one of them will serve as the team leader. If
any team member(s) drops from the course, the team is still responsible for
completing the project.
2. Project Proposal [Due: Feb. 7]
A proposal of the project with title and objective should be submitted.
The proposal should be two to five pages. It should also contain an estimation
of time required, per person, to analyze, design, implement and test the
project.
3. Initial Report [Due: Mar. 7]
The Initial report report should contain details about the
functionality that will be implemented. It should include details
about what the application will do, more from the application behavior
point of view than from how it will be implememented internally.
4. Development Report [Due: Apr. 4]
This report should include UML diagrams of the over all system. Details
about various approaches taken in developing the system must be presented. This
should also present details on problems faced and how they are being resolved.
5. Project Refined Report [Due. TBD]
This report will contain refinements made to the system upon further
development.
6. Project Demonstration [Due: TBD]
The project demonstration will be scheduled for the final exam time or
earlier. One or more members of the team should demonstrate the project in
front of a terminal. The grade for this will be based on the team’s answer to
questions raised during the demo, organization and presentation of the demo. Each
team member is required to be present for this event.
No late submissions allowed on any
assignments. Most announcements/assignments will be through email
