Project 2 Evaluation : Presentation (50%) Assessment Criteria Percentage Introduction 5 Design Result Presentation Style Demonstration 20 Project Quality 10

Project 2 Evaluation : Log Book (5%) & Implementation (15%) Assessment Criteria Percentage Frequency of meeting with supervisor 5 Implementation – 15% This section is reserved for the supervisor to give his/her own evaluation on the result of the project. It mostly reflects the satisfaction of the supervisor on the outcome of the project and the performance of his/her student regarding the project.

Presentation DO NOT spend too much time talking about literature review and methodology You should concentrate on your work (things that you did during Project 2) You are advised to bring your own computer for the demo You are required to bring the source code/source file of your project to the presentation Failure to bring the source codes can be interpreted that you have committed plagiarism

Presentation Evaluation is done by a panel of evaluators (consists of lecturers) Two types of assessment are given: Presentation marks (based on overall presentation). Demo on the system developed (Pass or Fail)

Common cause of failure Your project does not meet the minimum standards/requirements of a degree project Read the Minimum Standards Document (get from http://sephiroth/spmsv2 ) You are not able to explain code or any other parts of the system (can be interpreted as committing plagiarism) What happen if you were given a fail during presentation? You will be given an E grade for your project

What To Do If Given a “FAIL” grade If you fail because your system is below the minimum standard If you are not satisfied with the panel decision, you can apply for remarking During the remarking session, you will present the same system in front of a new panel appointed by the committee

What To Do If Given a “FAIL” grade If you fail because you are not able to explain code (or any other part of the system) PLAGIARISM You are not allowed to go for remarking. If you are not satisfied with the panel decision, you can write an appeal letter to the Dean of COIT An investigation committee will be formed to investigate this matter If successful in your appeal, you are allowed to go for remarking If not, disciplinary action will be taken on you (because you commit plagiarism)

During presentation, bear in mind that… You must wear formal attire The medium of communication is English Be at the college early BEFORE your presentation time The panel has the right to fail you if you are not present during your presentation time The panel has the right to ask you anything that is related to your project Explain coding Open database Modify/debug your code on the spot Demo/create element (multimedia-based).

During presentation, bear in mind that… Bring all the materials related to the development of your project: Program codes Databases Required development tools Multimedia elements created  Graphics / images / animation /video Failure to prove that the project is developed by you may cause you to be given an E grade

Deadlines Deliverables Deadline Demo project output to supervisor (to confirm for presentation) 16/10/2009 - Friday (1 week before end of class) Submission of final draft thesis to supervisor 23/10/2009 - Friday (last day of class) Presentation 17/11/2009 – 19/11/2009 (1 week after final exam ends ) Submission of final thesis (Hard Cover) + system 24/11/2009 (1 week after presentation)

Advice to students Do not procrastinate ! Don’t start after final exams.. Meet your supervisor on a regular basis. Do not come just towards the end Failure to see the supervisor has been identified as one of the major reason for the failure of the project Verify expected output (objectives) with your supervisor

Advice to students If you were in any doubt on what to do, check with your supervisor or the committee Keep several backup copies of your project in case something goes wrong with your computer You are ultimately responsible for the success of your project Your supervisor role is to supervise but you have to do all the works and be accountable of the results
