95-733 Internet Technologies                                Student Selected Project

Project 4 Specifications

	The purpose of Project 4 is to allow students to either a) work with an internet 
related technology that is of interest but not directly covered in the course or 
b) prepare a presentation on an internet related technology that would be of 
interest to the class but that members of the presenting student group are already 
expert in.

        Groups are permitted. Each group will have between 1 and 4 members. 

        The presentation and demonstration will be scheduled during the last week of 
class but prior to final exam week. If time runs short, a group may be asked to 
give the presentation and demonstration to the instructor outside of class.

	It should be noted that Project 4 is not subject to the same late
assignment policy as Projects 1 through 3. Project 4 must be completed during the 
time slot allocated by the instructor. One of the main reasons for this project is to 
educate others on the selected technology. Only in rare cases, e.g., a medical 
emergency, will a student be able to give a presentation outside of class.

	Presentations will be evaluated using the following criteria:

	1) Did the students explain where the technology fits in the current I.T.  
           environment?

        2) Did the students demonstrate a non-trivial working example?

        3) Did the students fail to arrive at a working example but after a solid  attempt? 

	4) Did the students contribute to the example in some way?  

	5) Was the presentation and demonstration compelling and clear?

            Please provide a title for your presentation and a brief description of what 
technology you plan on working on. If another group has already selected this 
particular topic, you may be asked to resubmit this proposal with a different technology 
and description.  Or, you may be asked to modify or refocus your proposal. The 
description that you provide will help your instructor make a decision 
concerning which projects will be approved and who will present them.


           Groups of more than one are permitted but it is required that each team 
member presents for five minutes.  

           PLEASE COMPLETE AND SUBMIT this form during Week 3 of the class.
           Post this completed form to Blackboard.
