A CS course might require that you visit the CS help lab (aka the unix lab) early in the term.  The reason for this is to force you to check it, so that when you do need help you hopefully feel comfortable going there for help. For basic information on the help lab see [[Unix Lab and Help]]
The goal of the computer science fall project contest is to showcase the types of work that ISU CS students work on. We thank all who submit a project.  This is great experience for you and helps the department show off your work to the outside world.


=Assignment=
Awards may be given for the following categories: 100 level coursework, 200 level coursework, 3/4/500 level coursework, 600 level coursework, games, data science, algorithms, teaching.  And if deemed appropriate we may declare a "best" project in some other categories as well.
You should find a time to visit the CS help lab either in person or on zoom.  Try to pick a time that will normally work for you.


You should say something like "hello, I am in CS ___ and am supposed to say hello for an assignment".  You should ask what the GA's name is and write it down.  You will ask the GA for one piece of advice related to computer science and write it down.  You should write down just the basic idea, even if they have more than a few words to say to explain their advice.
Note that you can submit any of your work.  It can be a project/assignment from a course (at ISU or otherwise), a personal project, something you have done for research, etc.


You should also tell the GA your name and your CS class username for the course.  The GA should write down (on paper or typing) your name, what course you are doing this for, your CS class username, and the advice they gave you.
== Format and Submission ==
Each submission should be a one page slide (pdf preferred, exported/saved from powerpoint, google slides, etc.). The slide should contain the following information.  ''You can check '''[https://cs.indstate.edu/info/files/project_contest_sample_2021.pdf sample submissions]''' to see two example slides (thanks to Zach Noble for providing these).''


'''Pass rating check''' The GA that you check in with will submit the information to the instructor. You will also submit the information to the instructor.  The instructor will check that all the information is there and that what the GA submitted agrees with what you submitted.
* '''Project name'''
* '''Category''' - if done as part of a course, indicate which course, and if not then you could put "personal project" or something along those lines.
* '''Link to sourcecode''' - on github, gitlab.indstate.edu, gitlab.com, or somewhere you have posted the code that is publicly accessible.
* '''Goal''' - what problem is trying to be solved / what is the purpose of the project.
* '''Description''' - a few bullet points or sentences describing the project.
* '''Graphic''' - some screenshot, chart, or some kind of figure related to the project.  Include a caption if the figure is not self explanatory.

Revision as of 18:28, 22 October 2021

The goal of the computer science fall project contest is to showcase the types of work that ISU CS students work on. We thank all who submit a project. This is great experience for you and helps the department show off your work to the outside world.

Awards may be given for the following categories: 100 level coursework, 200 level coursework, 3/4/500 level coursework, 600 level coursework, games, data science, algorithms, teaching. And if deemed appropriate we may declare a "best" project in some other categories as well.

Note that you can submit any of your work. It can be a project/assignment from a course (at ISU or otherwise), a personal project, something you have done for research, etc.

Format and Submission

Each submission should be a one page slide (pdf preferred, exported/saved from powerpoint, google slides, etc.). The slide should contain the following information. You can check sample submissions to see two example slides (thanks to Zach Noble for providing these).

  • Project name
  • Category - if done as part of a course, indicate which course, and if not then you could put "personal project" or something along those lines.
  • Link to sourcecode - on github, gitlab.indstate.edu, gitlab.com, or somewhere you have posted the code that is publicly accessible.
  • Goal - what problem is trying to be solved / what is the purpose of the project.
  • Description - a few bullet points or sentences describing the project.
  • Graphic - some screenshot, chart, or some kind of figure related to the project. Include a caption if the figure is not self explanatory.

Deadline to submit is Wednesday Oct 20, 2021.

To submit send your submissions as attachments to znoble1@sycamores.indstate.edu with subject "project competition" and cc jkinne@cs.indstate.edu. Make sure to send your submission from your ISU @sycamores.indstate.edu email address.

Other Rules

  • Multiple submissions - you may submit as many different submissions as you like.
  • Posting of projects - by submitting you agree to have your submission posted on the department website/wiki. You can opt-out by asking to not have your submission posted, though this might impact your ability to be declared a winner.

Judging

  • Winners will be declared based on feedback from CS faculty and/or graduate assistants. Judging will be based on some combination of the following: functionality of the program, how interesting is the idea, how tricky or complicated is the problem, how elegant is the solution, how well-organized/documented is the code.
  • Winners will be declared in some subset/superset of the categories mentioned at the top of this page. Honorable mentions might also be declared.

Results

The following is a pdf that contains the projects selected: https://cs.indstate.edu/info/files/project_showcase_2021.pdf. Thanks to all who submitted projects! And we are certainly very proud of the excellent work being done by students at ISU!
