Project 1-2

Full course description

Students work on a project assignment in small groups of about six students. The group composition stays the same for the whole project and is announced before the project opening in period 1.4. The students are guided through the project by a fixed tutor. The project assignment is divided into three subtasks (one per period) and is strongly related to the content of the courses from period 1.4 and 1.5. In period 1.4, after receiving the assignment for the whole project at the end of week 5, the students work full-time on the project in week 6. In this week, each group meets the tutor twice. In period 1.5, the students continue working on the project, while also having to attend the courses of that period. They meet their tutor approximately once a week. In period 1.6, the students work three weeks full-time on the project and meet their tutor twice a week.

At the beginning of period 1.5 and 1.6, the students have to hand in a planning for the current phase. At the end of each period, the students have to give a presentation and the source code, presentation and an overview of who did what need to be uploaded to Canvas. While the presentations at the end of period 1.4 and 1.5 are in front of the examiners and the tutors, the presentations at the end of period 1.6 will additionally be in front of the fellow students. In period 1.6, they furthermore have to hand in a report and attend a product and report examination.
