Refer to the Lab 2 word document.

2 Examples: Sections 1 & 2

Two selected papers from previous semesters show the general expectations. Even though the selected papers are very good, they are not error free.

CS411Black_Lab2sec1&2.docx, is extremely well written, and it is formatted as required. Some issues still exist:

  1. Section 1.4 does not include a formal reference to Lab 1.
  2. Table 1 in Section 2.1 is a good example of RWP vs Prototype feature comparison
  3. Both MFCD diagrams (RWP and Prototype) should have been included. The developer must understand what the simulations/models replace.
  4. This team included database schematics, ERDs, UI sitemaps, and similar figures in Section 3. This is fine, as long as they are included in the complete Lab 2 (i.e., in one two parts).

Peter.pdf, contains the figures referenced above. This is well written, and is mostly formatted at required. Some issues still exist:

  1. It does not contain a Table comparing the RWP and prototype.
  2. Both MFCD diagrams (RWP and Prototype) should have been included.
  3. Headings are not properly formatted.

3 Every Project is Different

Every semester, for each team, negotiations are possible. Every project is unique, and Lab 2 requirements may be modified when deemed appropriate, by the instructor.
