CSCE 486/488: Professional Development
Homework 3, Spring 2010
(Team Oral
Presentation)
|
In this assignment, you will do
a critical review of two senior-design project reports, one from Group A
(consisting of our own CSCE 489, Spring 2009) and
another from Group B, consisting of the projects of the finalists in the Imagine
Cup 2008 competition. This is a team assignment – each team is given two
project reports in Group A and two project reports in Group B (see the table at
the end) and must choose one from each
group to review.
Your objective is to prepare a
critique of each of the two project reports of your choice according to
the requirements specified below. We suggest that you start with individually
familiarizing yourself with the documents that describe the project requirements
(the course syllabus for CSCE 489 of Spring 2009 and the project guidelines that you can find
from Imagine-Cup web pages and from the reports themselves.) Then, meet as a
group to discuss the division of responsibilities and the timeline for
completion of the assignment. Your critique should evaluate the total quality
of the product, including but not limited to the following items:
1. An
introduction or overview of the requirements/specifications
2.
The extent to which the reported project fulfills the
requirements/specifications
3.
The clarity and readability of the written report as it pertains to explaining
the project (i.e. how difficult was it to understand their design)
4.
The completeness of the report relative to the required items for the project
5. A
comparison of the two reports, addressing both the quality of the designs and
the quality and credibility of the reports.
You will incorporate the above
points in a 20-minute presentation, followed by 5 minutes of Q&A period.
Your oral report should be a single unified entity. It must follow the
presentation guidelines that you learned in earlier courses (you may wish to
look at some of the Useful Sources links provided on the class web page
for a review).
Include a separate section in
your presentation, indicating how the team functioned and how the work was
divided among the team members.
Handin
your Powerpoint presentation by midnight of the day
of your presentation.
The presentation schedule is posted on course webiste.
