I am finally ready to update my plan for evaluation for this semester. I have been receiving feedback from various students over the past two weeks that have influnced these changes and I came to realize that I couldn't launch the presentation portion of the class as quickly as I wanted.
This post updates/replaces the information on slide 13 of Lecture 1.
Class Evaluation
Your grade in CSCI 5828 for the Fall 2015 semester will be determined by your work on
| Category | Option 1: Four Presentations |
Option 2: Three Presentations & Project |
|---|---|---|
| Class Participation | 5% | 5% |
| Quizzes | 10% | 10% |
| Homeworks | 35% | 35% |
| Midterm | 20% | 20% |
| Presentations | 30% | 20% |
| Project | N/A | 10% |
| Total: | 100% | 100% |
You now have a choice of creating four presentations across the rest of the semester or creating three presentations and one three-week long semester project. The project will involve stepping through the process of an Agile life cycle across three one-week iterations to create a software prototype of some kind.
Homeworks will be submitted on D2L; Quizzes will be taken on D2L; Presentations and the (optional) Project will be submitted on GitHub
Students are allowed to work on homeworks, the presentations, and the project in teams up to four students.
