There are two projects, one each semester. Each
counts 30%. This assessment of the group will come from the following
components:
- Content of the approach:()
- How good was your idea, how
well-informed by the course or outside literature, how creative,
etc.
- Performance of the approach:()
- This will be measured in terms
of how well it plays. A good bot will be a strong player
and make decisions quickly. Win performance counts
times speed performance.
Each group will be set up with a Group Journal on
Blackboard2 You must use this
to document your ideas and work to the lecturers. Specifically,
- Each individual must document their contribution to the
work. The best way is to keep a diary on the group Journal which
you update periodically outlining what you have done.
- There needs to be a description of the method used in the
programme you submit. You should also document ideas or
explorations which did not make it into the final
submission. This could be in the form of a group journal which
is updated periodically, or a report written at the end. Literature and experimental results which lead you to your final result should be documented in the Journal.
- Note: you may use any method of collaboration that you
chose, but you must use the Journal to communicate what you
have done to the lecturers.
