Project 1 Wrap Up

by Mike Gleicher on March 30, 2012

These are additional parts to Project 1. They have their own deadlines, and they are mainly to help set up for project 2.

Project Summary:

Each person (that means there will be multiple postings from groups) must post to the Piazza page with the following:

  • A one paragraph description of the project and the outcomes. This paragraph should give a sense both of what you are trying to do and what you did.
  • If you worked in a group: a one or two sentence description of what your role in the group was.
  • If you think there should be a follow-on to this project, and whether or not you are interested in doing this as your project 2. Give a 1-2 sentence description of what the follow on project would be.

This is due on Tuesday, April 10th (e.g. before Wednesday morning).

Self-Evaluation:

Each person must send email to the TA and professor with a self-evaluation in the body of the message. No attachments allowed.

Reflecting on a project is a known good technique to materialize the lessons. Here are some questions I’d like you to think about:

  1. How happy are you with the outcome?
  2. What went right/wrong in your project? What would you do the same/different?\
  3. What will you do the same/differently on the next project?
  4. What advice would you give to someone else proposing to do this project in the future?
  5. The cliché is to ask about what you learned from the experience. This is good self-reflection practice, but may already be described above.

Send the email before Friday, April 13th.
