6. Projects
Groups may have a maximum of 5 students (minimum 3), but the group must elect a group leader who is the contact person of the group. Leaders will propose a project by sending email to minock (på) kth.se, galter (på) kth.se and kpit (på) kth.se (See the exact form to use here). You must have a project idea approved by Monday April 11th or you will start losing 100 pts on the project each subsequent Tuesday. Note that the project proposal needs to identify one reference (or reference of a reference) from the Redbook that relates to the project. For project ideas look at last years projects.
By the date Thursday May 19th students must send a url that links to a 5 minute video demonstrating their project. They must also attach a 4 page report that describes their project (see last year's reports as examples). If you are on a remote Pacific island, you may submit at midnight there (e.g. Kingman Reef). So long as it is May 19th, 2016 somewhere, you are not late. Use Springer LNCS format. All members of groups will be charged a fine of 100 points every working day the report is late. To submit your projects, leaders must send an email to minock (på) kth.se, galter (på) kth.se and kpit (på) kth.se with the exact subject:[DD2471] Project ## where ## is you project number. Then the body of the email should be just a URL to your video. Please no greetings or signatures. And you must also attach a pdf named: project##.pdf.
Each Student will then be responsible for evaluating 5 other projects, supplying their evaluations by Tuesday May 31st. Students not submitting evaluations in time will be charged a fine of 100 points.
To determine which 5 projects to evaluate do the following: Take the first six digits of your person number, mod this by 29 and add 1. Then take the five projects starting at the calculate value. Skip non-used project numbers and the project number of your own project. If you go beyond 29, then loop back to 1. For example say a person in group 14 has a person number starting with 841010. (841010 mod 29) + 1 = 11. Thus this person will review projects 11,12,15,16,17.
You will evaluate projects according to the scale below. And you will then prepare an SQL file with INSERT statements to report your 5 evaluations.
The evaluation scale is the following:
- The video:
style: 1-5
substance: 1-5
overall: 1-5 - The report:
style: 1-5
substance: 1-5
overall: 1-5 - Comments
1 very poor, 2 poor, 3 adequate, 4 good, 5 very good.
Be grumpy and pound others hard. Or be kind and go soft. Or be somewhere in between. Just be CONSISTENT! Do not read their earlier project proposals. Groups should not be punished if they deviated from earlier plans.
Here is an example fictitious review files by Weeble Mckensie: mckensie.sql under the schema peer.sql
Construct a file <lastname>.sql and validate against the schema. By validate, we mean that the file should load via \i <lastname>.sql from psql. Obviously <lastname> should be your last name (without Swedish characters). Send this as an attachment to minock (på) kth.se, galter (på) kth.se and kpit (på) kth.se with the exact subject:[DD2471] Peer Eval. Leave the body empty.
