Final Project

Final project = 40% of overall class grade

Criteria Percent of overall class grade
Proposal (problem statement + needfinding + prototyping + implementation + evaluation) 10%
Final Presentation 5%
Working prototype 10%
Peer evaluation 5%
Evaluation 5%
Poster + web page + video 5%

Proposal (10%): Detail rubric is available here

  • Problem Statement (1.5%): State your problem clearly. What is your motivation? What is the current state of the art? Are you sure that you are not reinventing the wheel? A representative figure that describes your project.
  • Needfinding (1.5%): What needfinding techniques are you going to use and why? More details about your needfinding procedure.
  • Prototyping (1.5%): What prototyping techniques will you use? Fidelity of your prototypes?
  • Implementation (1.5%): What technology stack are you going to use to implement your final product?
  • Evaluation (1.5%): Details of your evaluation plan. Who are your users? What evaluation techniques are you going to use?
  • Timeline and deliverable (1.5%): A detailed timeline of all the babysteps that you will be taking for your project.
  • Alternative solution and bios of the members (1%): Plans for alternative solution and bios of the members.  
  • EXTRA CREDIT (1%): Concept video: Create a concept video that demonstrates the functionality of the system.

Final Presentations (5%):

  • Class presentation (~15 minutes of presentation & 3 minutes of Q & A) - each member needs to present.
  • Content and organization: clear, informative slides that concisely summarize your project (2%).
  • Aesthetics: presentation is professional (please dress appropriately) and visually appealing (1%).
  • Presentation: speakers are audible, engaging and maintain eye contact with audience. Each member needs to present and the flow should be smooth. Please practice! (1%).
  • Length: presentation completed within the allotted time constraint (1%).

Working prototype (10%):

Very Important to have a working prototype.

Peer evaluation (5%):

Team members will evaluate each other. We will use the peer evaluation score to scale your remaining final project grades. You could rate your partners as 1) didn't do their fair share; 2) did their fair share; We will use your ratings to scale the remaining part of the final project grade.
 

Here is a sample of last year's peer evaluation form.

Evaluation (5%)

Does your prototype serve its intended purpose? What evidence do you have to support your claim? Results on user studies need to be presented

Poster + web page +video (5%)

Poster Printing

  • As part of the poster presentation day, each team should designate one member to be responsible for handling poster printing. That member would need to see Amanda Rigolo in the Computer Science department and get the instructions. Professor Hoque has arranged for the department to pay for printing your poster. The poster should have a 36" x 48" dimension. The designated member from your team should interface with Eileen ASAP.
  • We will using the Physics Department Barnes Computing Center for posters. This link gives you the information about their process and pricing. Talk to Amanda for instructions.

Poster Presentations:

  • Poster presentation and live demo - Instead of a final exam, we will have an interactive poster and demo session (DATE, LOCATION: tbd). Outside guests will be invited and we will provide FREE FOOD. :-)
  • You are expected to demo your project live during the poster presentation. If you don't get to show your final prototype during class your presentations, you will have an opportunity to show it then.
  • View poster presentation events from Spring 2019, Fall 2017, Spring 2017, Fall 2015, Fall 2014, Fall 2013

Video demo:

Make a video of your project (1-4 minutes long) (Videos: Spring 2021, Spring 2020, Spring 2019, Fall 2017, Spring 2017, Fall 2015, Fall 2014, Fall 2013 )

  • A video is a more permanent presentation of your final product that can be viewed years later to inspire future students and innovators. Each video should contain an appropriate title slide.
  • Video effectively demonstrates the concept, iterations, prototype and evaluation. (2%)
  • Video is well-paced and appropriately long (shouldn't be more than 4 minutes). (1%)
  • Video is of high-quality and well-edited with a title, audio is clear. (2%)
