Hello everyone. As I mentioned today during the lecture, we have to plan the presentation of the term project .
I usually require groups of *three people* to work jointly on the project and make a presentation. According to the last homework submissions, I assume there will be around 10-11 groups. Squeezing the presentations in a single 3-hour session is possible, but it'll be way too tight.
The date for the regular / final exam is June 11th @ 3pm (and it can be retaken on July 4th). Whoever passes the course with homework + term project does not need to go to the final exam. But everyone has the right to take that exam instead of the homework; and there may be people who do not pass with homework + project, and prefer to take the June exam instead of the July exam. So, June 11th has to be saved for this possibility.
The last lecture day is Wed, May 28th. So my proposal is use Wed, May 21st and Wed, May 28th, to make the presentations. Therefore, I am asking you to please provide information regarding your availability on May 21st and 28th, as well as data for the groups for the term project. Please go to the Google Docs spreadsheet at
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BTdeDeLeFBbUbxxj-6xEdQY5odPkPS6IROei...
and:
1.- Fill in your name.
2.- State whether you could make a presentation on May Wed 21st. If you can do it in both dates, please mark both (this should probably be the default, as both days are regular lecturing days), and whether you can stay for the presentation one hour more (until 7pm), just to know which possibilities we have.
3.- When you know who is going to be in the group with you, give the group a name and associate the members of the group with that name. You can name your group "Group N" for some number, but some imagination won't hurt 😁.
Please provide the information as early as it is possible for you, and in any case before next Monday, April 14th, EOB.
Best,
A gentle reminder to provide information on the groups.
Some of you approached me during today's lecture and told me that you need either to find a group or to find an additional person for a group. Apparently there are several 2-person groups. Please try to make 3-person groups. If the groups are two people, there will be too many groups.
Also, someone asked whether it'd be possible to have 4-person groups. I would prefer not to have that. The project is not too large / complex. Four people may make the amount of work per person be quite small, and more coordination will be necessary.
Please feel free to use this mailing list (cbc(a)software.imdea.org) to ask for groups to join or for people to complete a group! Also, you can post incomplete groups in the Google Spreadsheet (see below) to make it easier for others to join.
Best / Saludos,
Manuel
