CIS Independent Study / Internship Project: Final Report Requirements
Prof Sklar
Fall 2006

FINAL PROJECT REPORT

The following is due BY MONDAY DECEMBER 18, 2006:

1. A copy of your log/journal detailing either:
   1. your visits to classrooms for the educational robotics program,
      OR
   2. your tutoring sessions, for the whole semester.
2. A write-up of the applied portion of the project. This should include:
   • Title
   • Abstract
     This should be one paragraph and should explain what the project is about.
   • Introduction
     This should re-state the abstract in more detail, including a brief description about what you did for the project, an explanation of the purpose of the project and what you learned from the experience. This can include experiences you gained from doing the robotics or tutoring.
   • Project Description
     Describe the project in complete detail.
     If it is a programming or web-design project, then include the source files (as an appendix to the project write-up) and be sure to include enough detail so that if another student were going to pick up where you left off next term, then they would have enough information to go on.
     If your project involved new technologies (i.e., using software tools that were new to you), then describe the tool(s). Explain how you learned how to use the tool, what information was helpful, what information was not helpful and what information you would pass on to someone else using the tool in future. Be sure to include any bibliographic references, with complete citations!
   • Summary and Future Work
     Summarize what you did and what you learned. This can be very brief, since you have already made these statements in the abstract and introduction. Then go on and highlight problems you had, issues which you had to face and hurdles which you had to (or were unable to) overcome.
     Outline some ideas for future work. If you were going to continue the project next term, what would you do? If someone else were going to pick up the project from you next term, what would you recommend that they do?
   • Bibliography
     Include full bibliographic references from any outside sources.

All materials should be submitted to me by MONDAY DECEMBER 18.
Please submit:

• Electronic version of both parts (journal, project write-up). PDF or HTML formats are preferred, but Word is okay too. If you send multiple files, PLEASE ZIP THEM TOGETHER AND SEND ONE ZIP FILE!!
• TWO HARD-COPIES left in the CIS dept office (2109 N), one goes in my mailbox and the other goes in Prof Augenstein's mailbox.
