Final Project


Overview

The final project is a chance for students to build a system incorporating one or more idea that has been learned in class. Projects can be performed individually or in teams of two.
 

Written Proposals (due Thurs 12/6):

Each team of students should submit a one-page written project proposal.  The proposals should include enough detail to convince a reader that you've found a good problem, you understand how hard it is, you've mapped out a plan for how to attack it, and you have an idea about which experiments you might run to test the success of your implementation.  Following is a brief outline you might follow ...


Final Project Presentations (in class on Thurs Dec 6):

Each team of students will give a 5-10 minute talk to present their course project (with slides, demos, videos, etc.).  You should be sure to convince the class that: 1) you are addressing an important problem, 2) you understand various approaches to the problem, 3) you have found an interesting approach to attack the problem, 4) you have a SPECIFIC, DETAILED plan, 5) you have made some progress developing that plan, and 6) you have a way to evaluate your results. 5-10 minutes is a short amount of time. So, please come with a presentation that is concise and to-the-point. 
 

Demo Day (Monday Jan 21, 2-5PM, CS 302):

Each team of students will give a short presentation describing their class project.  Your goal should be to demonstrate and describe for the class in 10-15 minutes what you have done and why it is interesting.  In addition to running a live demo on a computer, you should describe the guts of your project, possibly using slides or other props.


Final Written Reports (due Mon Jan 21):

Each team of students should submit written final report.  The written report should contain descriptions of the goals and execution of your project.  You should include a review of related work.  You should write detailed descriptions of the approach you've chosen, the implementation hurdles you've encountered, the features you've implemented, and any results you've generated.  Following is a brief outline you might follow ...
