CISC 370 Term Project Presentation Schedule
Spring 2000

What is Due at the Presentation

A complete write-up of your project

This should include

1. A brief 1-2 page high level overview of the project similar to the project proposal.
   
2. Specially interesting aspects of the project. These should include aspects of which you are especially proud, things that you found difficult, etc.
   
3. Weaknesses, extensions, etc that you would change if you had more time. If you identify weaknesses and/or existing errors that you have not been able to rectify that will be less of a detriment than if I identify them.
   
4. A complete listing of the code with associated documentation. The documentation can consists of well-commented code and other short descriptions. Or it consists of undocumented code and accompanying documentation. Use the way that code is documented in the Horstmann and Cornell textbook as a model if you do not put comments in your code. Normally, well documented code will consist of both comments and additional explanations similar to the examples discussed in lecture that have comments and additional explanations in the lecture notes.

What You Should Do at the Presentation

1. Give a brief oral overview (approximately five minutes) of the project that covers items (1)-(3) above. You are encouraged to use visuals for this presentation. They can be online or I can help you prepare transparencies for viewing with an overhead projector.
2. A demo of the project. An IBM PC with Exceed (so that you can access and demo code from other machines) will be available or you may bring a laptop if you prefer.
3. Be prepared to answer questions.

Term Project Ground Rules

• Term projects may be done in teams of two or alone. For team work,
  • Handin one copy of required work with both names
  • Each team member is expected to do an equal share of the work
• You may use existing code in your project as long as
  • You do not violate any copyright laws
  • You give full credit to the source of the code (otherwise representing other's work as your own is plagarism).
  • You add something significant and the part that you add is clearly indentified.
