Project Details and Milestones

This is a team project and each team will consist of 2 members. Once you form your team, send email immediately to the instructor and get started on Milestone 1 (Project Proposal).

Each project team should work on a simple initial project plan that should include such things as meeting schedule, division of labour, project risks and how to overcome them. (I expect each team to meet face-to-face at least three times to work on the project.) Some portion of the marks will be assigned to the teamwork aspect of this project.

Once your team is formed, you should meet to brainstorm your topic for the project. Preferably, your project should be related to your major of study or something that you are passionate about. Then, write a short "one page statement" (1-2 pages) on your chosen topic and a rough plan of action on how you will do the project.

This is to be due by the deadline (given above). Submit to IVLE Workbin (UIT2201-M1 folder).

There will be a mid-project review for each project group done with the instructor. This will be scheduled on the week given above.
(Email will be sent by the instructor to set up appt for this project review.)

Final Project Deliverables: Your final project are as follows:

• Your "Application"
  Depending on your project, your "application" will be the cool application/storyboards/maps/web-pages that you created.
  If you "application" requires substantial user interaction, please write a short "User Manual" for it.
  

• Your Project Report Your project report (10-15 pages) should contain the following key sections:
  • Introduction,
  • Short description of the chosen software framework,
  • Overview and Key idea of your Cool Application,
  • Achievements of your project,
  • Areas for further improvements,
  • Project process, division of labour, and team-work,
  • Lessons learned,
  • References.
  • Appendix A.
  (You are free to change the actual names of the sections.)
  Note: In order to help future project-teams, Appendix A will be a short writeup on "How to Get Started with Applications using Your-Software-Frame.

• Your Project CD For (your and my) convenience, you should organize *all* your project materials into a ProjectCD. The ProjectCD should contain the following: a simple README.txt file that describes the contents of the ProjectCD, your cool application, document on how to use it (if any), intermediate project design documents (if any), project presentation files (if any), articles that your refer to, your M1-report, your final project report, and any other relevant info about your project.

Submssion of Project Deliverables:

Your ProjectCD should be properly labelled with the following info: "UIT2201 Spring 2013 Project", Your-Application-Name, names of the team members, contact info (if appropriate).
Please submit your ProjectCD to me within the same deadline.

(I highly recommend that you also make a ProjectCD for yourself, for keepsake.)

Please submit your final project report to both

• the IVLE Workbin (UIT2201-M3 folder) by the deadline given above, and
• hardcopy to me or my office by the deadline.

• Your project report should be your own work. It can make use of facts, figures and ideas that can be obtained from the web-sites, books, or related sources. And you should acknowledge these sources by citing them in your reports. You should NOT copy pages (wholesale) from these sources. Doing so will be considered plagiarism and incurs severe punishment.
  For more on plagarism, please consult the NUS plagiarism website.
• It is also important that in your report, you should include some of your own views and comments and not just regurgitate the reports/comments of others.
• Be sure to accurately list the sources of your material in the "References" section of your report.
