Description
For this Guide the students choose a subject according to their interests to research and work on individual projects under the guidance of an instructor. The main point of this project is to experiment with future technological innovations in web development.
The outcomes of the project are defined by the students themselves and then validated by the instructor. A weekly status meeting with the instructor (3 in total) should be scheduled to discuss ideas and check on the progress of the work.
The structure of this process should be as follows:
- Research Plan - the student creates a document like this that details what they would like to research and work on. This should be ready before the first status meeting (around 4 days)
- Weekly status meetings - each meeting should be held before the end of each week. Agenda: talk about what has been done in the previous days, discuss issues and debate ideas and introduce the plan for the next week
- Development - this is the main work, creating the product, paper or otherwise agreed on outcome
- Feedback request - the work should be submitted for assessment using io.vefskoli.is, in order to obtain feedback from a peer. This should happen around the end of the third week, at the announced time. Note: the pass/no pass vote will be ignored.
- Polishing - After getting a review from a peer, the student should finish off the work by polishing it and making it ready for the presentation
- Presentation - The work will be presented at a Seminar. Details to be announced on Slack.
- Evaluation - The final grade for this project will be composed by
- Research Plan (10%)
- Status Meetings (10%)
- Your Review Grade from io.vefskoli.is (15%)
- Presentation (65%)
