Project Presentation (13 May 2013)
You should have finished, submitted, and have your project
app reviewed by your class mates before Monday, 13 May 2013.
The presentation will be in CLA 1.104 from 2 pm to 5 pm.
There will be plenty of time for each group to describe and
present the app that they have developed.
Here is the grading criteria for the project. The total points
is 100.
- 20 pts: Functionality of the app. This includes the
number of technical features incorporated and working in a
meaningful way.
- 20 pts: Ease of use. Is the app easy and intuitive
to use? Are there easy to understand instructions or menus?
- 20 pts: Attractiveness of the GUI. Is there an
aesthetic use of colors and sounds in the app? Does the app load
easily and close or exit cleanly?
- 10 pts: ReadMe file. There must be a file giving a
description of the app and instructions on how to use the app.
The readability of this file is an important criterion.
- 10 pts: Novelty and Usefulness of the app. How novel
or unique are the features in the app? Is the app going to be
useful or in case of games interesting or challenging?
- 10 pts: Presentation. Professional presentation of
the app and demonstration of its features within time allocated.
- 10 pts: Review at least three apps of other
groups in the class. The review criteria are given below.
TA Office Hours
Tong Zhao will be holding office hours next week on Monday (6 May),
Wednesday (8 May), and Friday (10 May) in GDC 1.302 from 1 pm to
3 pm. You must set up a time with him via e-mail to come and
demonstrate the finished version of your app. This private
demonstration must be done before your presentation on Monday,
13 May 2013.
App Presentation
You will get ~10 minutes to present your app and you will take 2 to
3 questions at the end of your presentation. Your presentation
will describe the app, what technical features that you have
incorporated, and a demonstration of the app. We expect that you
will have slides or handouts for your presentation. The judging
criterion will be the professional manner in which you make your
presentation. All members of the group must speak.
App Reviews
You must review at least 3 apps developed by your class mates. You
can solicit your class mates to review your app either through Piazza
or in person during class time. Here are some questions that you
might want to answer in your review:
- Was the ReadMe file easy to understand?
- Was the app easy and intuitive to use?
- What technologies did the app incorporate?
- Was the app attractive and / or interesting?
- Did you find the app useful?
- What enhancements would you like to see in the app if you
had to buy it?
Your review must be constructive. Collect all three reviews and send
them to me and Tong in a single text file. Please do not send
separate files. You may also want to send your review to the group
whose app it was.
App Submission
The final version of your app must be zipped with the ReadMe file
and submitted through the
turnin system by 11 pm, Monday 13 May 2013.
