CS 262, Spring '98


Project Review: 10 points

Date Due: Friday, 4/26/96.


(10) 1.	Project review to be held by appointment Friday, 4/26.
	The reviews will be scheduled on a signup sheet in class and
	will consist of 20 minute conferences in the instructor's office.
	Points will be awarded on the basis of actual progress compared
	to scheduled progress.  Your projects should be at least
	50% complete at this time.  Bring outputs, program listings,
	and documentation as necessary to show your work to date.  
	No written report is required for this review.  The
	progress points cannot be made up on the final project grade.

(5)  2. Outline the project you would like to do for this
        class.  Your  proposal should contain the following parts:

        (a) Describe the finished project as you envision it.  What will
            your project do and what will the output look like?

        (b) Identify the major functional components to be created for your
            project,  such  as  program  modules  and subroutines. Indicate
            where  existing  programs  are  to be utilized. A block diagram
            would  be  an  appropriate way to provide this information.

        (c) Sketch  a project plan showing the tasks to be accomplished and
            the  order in which you propose to do them. Estimate the number
            of  hours  required  for  each task. You only have four weeks.
            Include time for testing and documentation.  

	(d) Identify  the  computer, languages and any I/O devices you
            will be using.

        Plan your proposal carefully so that you don't promise what you can't
        deliver.  Part of your project grade will be based on how well you
        follow your proposal.  A progress report will be required part way
        through to check on how well you are following your proposed schedule.
