[edit] CS 491ab general information

[edit] Use your CS 491ab project as a start on your MS project

Those of you who are MS students or who are thinking of entering our MS program after you finish your BS degree might want to consider CS 491ab as a way to get started on an MS project. This isn't to say that you can use your CS 491ab project as an MS project. But if you develop a good CS 491ab project, you can use that as the basis for your MS project. Those who pursue this strategy will have 4 quarters of effort devoted to a single overall project. With that amount of time, you should have something pretty impressive when you are done.

[edit] Grades

Since I consider CS 491a to be the first part of a two quarter sequence, and since I encourage you to use CS 491a to explore your options, the grade in this course will be based on effort rather than final product. Each week I will evaluate the effort you made that week based on a combination of your presentation for the week and the material you entered on your course page. (For week two (1/16) no presentations are expected.) The grade for the course will be an unweighted average (no week counts more than any other week) of those evaluations. There is one qualification, though. By the end of CS 491a you should have defined and started on a project that can be completed in CS 491b. If not, your grade will be reduced.

Please enter your names alphabetically by last name.

[edit] Diagram Editor

DIA is a FREE diagram editor for software engineering. There is Linux and Win32 versions of the software. Some people prefer Visio or RSA, I'm just giving an option. I use this for all my software engineering projects and if you don't have a diagram tool, this one is FREE.

[Note: Linux users can probably find it in their package manager.]

[edit] Presentation schedules

Let's divide the class into 6 groups of 4 people each. Starting with week 3, each person is expected to spend 15 minutes discussing the work you did during the past week. Each person in a group is expected to stay the entire time.

Please copy pointers to your pages into the periods below. For now, as many people as desired can sign up for each time period. After I see everyone's preferences, we'll make final adjustments. For example, if six people sign up for one time period, we may expand that period to 1 1/2 hours.

Those of you working in groups, e.g., the biology project, the Aerospace project, should all sign up for the same time slot. You may want to set up a project page in addition to your individual pages.
