Term Project:


The purpose of the term project is to build a complete Web Service application based on the topics covered in class. The whole class will be divided into 10 groups. Each group will be responsible to come up with a project idea. An approved project proposal is required before the mid term. Each group will be asked at the last 2 weeks (before the final exam week) to present their work to the class. One of the groups (randomly) will be asked to present the project orally. This means that all of the group members MUST be ready to present the project. In the second class, another team member will be selected randomly to be asked about the project code. 5 groups will present the project the first week and the next 5 groups will be in the next week. The determination of the team’s presentations order will be randomly too. A final report with a complete documentation (well documented code – screen shots – project description) is required on the presentation day.

 

Cheating Policy


Students are encouraged to work together and learn from each other.  However, cheating in any form on exams, or copying of homework or computer programs will not be tolerated.  Any evidence of cheating will result in a failing grade for the course.

 

General Policy:


Homework is due at the start of class on the due date. Late homework will only be accepted in extenuating circumstances.
