System's evaluation from faculty

  25% of your course grade

The Process

From December 4th to 6th teams will present their projects to a group of faculty evaluators.

BEFORE the presentation starts, the teams need to provide faculty with:

  1. A full set of documentation: User, Technical, and Administrator manuals.

  2. A disk containing all the elements required for the fully functional system.  On the disk include a "readme.txt" file containing complete instructions for installation, initialization, user authentication and basic administration.

  3. Instructions to access the client's version of the project.

  4. Peer-Evaluation3.  Include your peer-evaluations in a sealed envelope.

Teams should present their projects to the review committee in a 45 minutes session.  In preparing your presentation please consider:

 

  1. many of the evaluators DO NOT KNOW your projects.

  2. although you will give a walkthrough of your project, faculty may request any information from you during the presentation, so be FLEXIBLE.

  3. you must clearly enumerate all known errors, omissions and project limitations

 

After the presentation students are dismissed.

Evaluators judge your projects based on standard criteria and discuss the team's project and performance for 10 minutes.  See the Evaluation Forms.

The final evaluation score is determined by all reviewer's evaluations.

Evaluation forms may be picked up from the assistant's office (PH 223E) during the second week of December (11th to 15th).

The Place

Projects will be reviewed in room: PH 217

Standard presentation equipment is available in the room.  You may also bring your computer, but remember that we cannot afford to spend time on preparing things at the last moment.
