What is the Final Project?
Android Project Worth 80% of final exam grade. Create an Android application of your choosing Find something that you’re excited about!!! Games, Cooking, Music, Computers, Zombies, etc.
Demonstrate basic understanding of Android UI and skills learned in class/homework. Final application needs to be tested and free of errors/crashes/etc. If you’re app crashes and prevents me from grading it, you’re grade will suffer accordingly. Android Project Requirements
KISS Keep It Simple Stupid
Everyone needs to use Git and GitHub for their project “Check in early and check in often” I’ll use GitHub to see your project’s progress and for grading. I’ll also grade how well you use Git. Are the commit messages meaningful? Worth 10% of final example grade. Git & GitHub
Presentation worth 10% of final exam grade For your presentation, assume your application runs perfectly! Project Presentation
You’ll be making a 10 slide Ignite Presentation Each slide will automatically progress after 15 seconds That’s 150 seconds long That’s 2.5 minutes You only have time for an elevator speech Project Presentation
Talking Points 1.What is your project? (1-2 slides) 2.Technology / implementation details / challenges (~6 slides) 3.What techniques/technology/components did you use that we didn’t talk about in class. (~2 slides) Presentation
Ignite can be difficult Create a talking script for each slide Practice your script with the presentation running Don’t wait until the last minute to practice!! Ignite Tips
Both your presentation and ppt should be professional in nature. Professional != BORING!!! Feel free to use the template I’ve created or make your own Professional Presentation
How well and how clear did you explain your app? Is it evident you learned anything during the process of making your app? Professionalism Presentation Skills Ignite Grading
