2 Examples: Sections 1 & 2

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

2.1 Example 1

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

  1. Headings are a larger font size than the body text.

  2. Section 1.4 does not include a formal reference to Lab 1.

  3. Table 1 in Section 2.1 is a good example of RWP vs Prototype feature comparison

  4. Both MFCD diagrams (RWP and Prototype) should have been included. The developer must understand what the simulations/models replace.

  5. 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).

2.2 Example 2

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

  1. Headings are a larger font size than the body text.

  2. It does not contain a Table comparing the RWP and prototype.

  3. Both MFCD diagrams (RWP and Prototype) should have been included.

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.
