Course outline • Winters, MWF (2002, 2003, 2004) • Projects • I propose 3, and encourage them to find their own. • 6 groups (each 4-6 people): 3 chose mine, 3 chose theirs • 2004: 3+3=6 projects • Genome-DB (6), Image-search (5), Medical (5), • Video (6), Bookstore (4), Firefighters (4) • Forming groups & projects • Project choice, groups, background survey • http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/~hakan/CIS772/hw1.html
Course Outline • First 3-4 week: I talk about technical details of the projects. • Last 5-6 weeks: Interaction. • Group presentations & discussions, class feedback, lectures • Project Proposal • Weekly progress reports • Written/verbal feedback given each week • Group Presentations • Mid-term and Final Demo • Final Report • Individual and Group Reports
Capstone Criteria 1 & 2 & 3 • Criteria 1 & 2 • 772: Must be at the senior level • Four pre-requisites 560; 601; 516 or 757; 670 • Criteria 3: Design component • Design is a main component • Database design • Design of data model, index, back-end server, user-interface • Programming design • Tasks, assignments, timelines
Criteria 4: Course Content • Realistic constraints • Some projects with outside partners • All: Goal is final use by others • User-friendly design • Large-scale systems in modest machines • 120K images, Human/mouse genome, Mining over >100K movies • Fast – not just accurate – queries • Standards • XML, etc. • Image files, image processing, biomedical data • Maintainability • Emphasis during lectures (easy to extend, maintain) • Challenge: When quarter is over, the project is over! • Ethical, social issues • Implicit (outside partners, final product)-- 601 • Use of data, permissions (AMA doctor list, etc.)
Criteria 5: Documentation • Project Proposal • Weekly group reports • Meeting minutes, Plans, goals, accomplishments, challenges, technical details • Individual Report • Final Report • Web-site • Demo • Engine with user-interface, help • All reports, minutes
Criteria 6: Oral Presentation • Each student makes at least one significant oral presentation (10 minutes or longer) <mostly 2-3> • Presentations: • Progress & Plans • Individual Accomplishments • Technical tutorials related to the Project • Feedback from the instructor and the class • Students are encouraged to give feedback to the presenters • Works well: Both technical and presentation related comments/critics • (Almost) full attendance to the class • Peer evaluation • Both verbal and written • Other groups, group members
Criteria 7: Teamwork • All about teamwork • Self-organized groups • If not, I assign based on background/interest survey • 1 Meeting/ week: Mandatory (more in practice) • Projects are inter-disciplinary in nature • Students with molecular biology, genetics background
Criteria 8: Course-size • Cap: 30 • 30+2 students (maximum that could be handled) • 27 were on waiting list (17+10) – many of them were grads • Waited for the second week, and added 2 undergrads • Cap was 25 before: • 2003: 25+6 • 2002: 25 • 6 groups, 4-6 students per group
