Project Guidelines
GENERAL PROJECT GUIDELINES
Individual vs.
Group Projects
You will be assigned a total of three projects
in this course. At least one of these projects must
be done individually. For the other two projects,
you may choose to work in a small group (of up to three people) if you would
like or by yourself. Moreover, you may choose which
projects you wish to do with others. In the case of
group projects, all members of the group will receive the same grade for
the project. In addition, you must inform me in writing
(email is fine), if you will be working in a group
with a list of group members at least one week before the project is officially
due.
Project 3
I have one goal for your third project: To extend your knowledge
about informatics in an area we have explored in class or to investigate
a new area related to informatics. The topic of your Project 3 is up to
you. However, you must discuss the topic for your third project with me
(email is fine) well in advance so that we mutually agree on the topic and
scope of the work. In terms of size, Project 3 should be slightly bigger
in scope than Project 1 or Project 2. You must commit to a final project
topic by Nov. 26.
Late Policy
To receive full credit, projects must be turned
in at the beginning of the class meeting on the day they are due. Unless arranged with me before the due date, late projects
will be marked down 10% and not be accepted beyond one week after the due
date. The third project is due at the beginning of
class at the last class meeting on Tuesday, December 10.
In the case of the third project, no late projects will
be accepted.
