Final Project

100 Total Points

Project

The final projects for the course will consist of developing two programs that display your ability to apply the concepts you learned in this course to a professional context that you are interested in.  My hope is that you can use this project as a mechanism to discuss your IT skills in relation to a    job you seek or market you wish to enter.

Ido not expect your programs to be a novel solution to a problem.  All I expect is that the program shows your ability to use python to solve a problem related to your interested context. This could   be developing a calculator for core concepts from your discipline (value calculators, depreciation   schedules, inventory trackers, simplified CRM’s, etc.), visualizing your music, developing a tool to  automate a process, developing a video game … really the options are endless.   Basically,

something that you can use as a tool to show someone in the field you are interested in that you had a choice to develop a program in whatever context you wanted, and since you are so

interested in your particular field, you decided to develop a program that applies your newly acquired python skills to it.

I will be very flexible with how you want to scope your project. You could also use this opportunity to learn something new that we haven’t covered in this class. I have worked with our Zybook’s

publisher to include additional resources/chapters for you to explore. For example, if you are

interested in visualizations with python, you could spend the next few weeks exploring MatPlotLib and develop a simple solution that utilizes its fundamentals in the context you are interested in. If  you are eager to learn various supervised and unsupervised data analysis methods, you could

explore those chapters.  The key in this case will be your ability to clearly communicate your code to me in your video presentation.  With either option you choose (application of learned concepts  or exploration of something new), the intent is to develop programs to use as a mechanism to

communicate your technical skills and sincere interest in a particular company and/or context.

*** Bolded/red items are required. Failure to submit/participate in these aspects of the project will result in at least a 50% reduction of your Final Project Grade ***

Description Points

Attendance

Attendance will be taken at the beginning of every class. For every class missed, 5 points will be deducted from the 25 points allocated for attendance.  You will be allowed to miss  1 class without penalty.

Individual Work

This project can be either be done individually or with a group of 2 students.  The group of 2 students can be across both 12:25pm and 1:50pm sections (1 student from each

section).  If you choose to work with someone else, the total amount of points you can earn on the project will be 80 out of 100.

Project 1 – Mini Project

For the mini project, I would like you to develop code that focuses on extracting and/or

cleaning data of your interest.  This data could be used in project 2 later in the semester. You can leverage data scraping, API connections or simply loading a csv file into your

python program and then, you can use various methods to clean (refine) down the data to a usable form.  Then, you can save the file as a new csv for future use.

If you are taking on a large project for project 2, you could use this as phase 1 of the project.

At the end of the project, you will record a video of your screen sharing what you did and then submit it to canvas.

Project Proposal Document

The proposal will consist of:

1)   describing the context you are interested in (particular job or general field);

2)  what your program will do;

3)   a timeline setting some key milestones for you to meet the deadlines of the project; and

4)   identifying a few factors that may inhibit your ability to develop the solution to meet the project’s requirements.

You can simply create a word document and bullet your responses below each of the 4 components described above.  Somewhere between a half page and full page would

suffice.

Interview Stream Video Submission

This component of the project is optional.  I have worked with the Career & Professional Development department to facilitate an opportunity for you to use Interview Stream as a mechanism to develop and refine a response to an interview question related to the

project. If you want to participate in earning these points, you will need to follow the  instructions (coming soon) to logon and record a video of yourself responding to the interview question:

“Give me an example of how your MIS degree has prepared you for this position”

Your response should use this project as a tool to not only show how you are able to

apply your IT skills to this specific position, but also how given an opportunity to develop a solution on any professional problem, you chose to develop a program in the context of

this position.  The “context” can be narrowly or broadly scoped (e.g. auditor at KPMG versus financial analyst).  Either way, make sure there is a connection between the    context in the python solution and the context of the position you are referencing.

Please note: These videos will be reviewed by two members of the Career &

Professional Development department.  They will provide customized feedback on your video, so please do not just “mail it in” .  Be as professional as possible and   look at this as an opportunity to get some constructive feedback related to your

ability to bridge what you learn in class with obtaining employment somewhere in

the future. This is not intended to discourage you from submitting a video but to motivate you to do your best.

Project 2 - Code and Video Presentation of your Program Two types of submissions are required for the project.

1)  A video that is recorded and submitted on blackboard that describes your code in somewhat detail.

A link will be made available for you to submit your video and code.  At this point, you will upload your video and submit a copy of your code. You need to record a video in which    you explain your code.  You must share your computer screen during the recording.  The recording should be between 4-7 minutes long.

Recording to the zoom cloud and then providing the link and password would be the

easiest.  Either way you choose your video should be just a few minutes long.  You should follow this structure:

-     Introduce the context you are focused on

-     Provide an overview of your program by running it and explaining its purpose.

-     Provide a more detailed description of your code by highlighting the core

concepts applied, or the new concepts you explored.   Basically, this is kind of  like the comments you put in your code, but an audio explanation of the major components of your code.

-     Provide me some brief feedback on the project and how I may improve it in the future.

Below is the rubric that will be used to grade the video presentation of your code. The core programming concepts I refer to are:

-     Branching/Boolean

-    Loops

-    Functions

-     Classes

-     List/Dictionaries/Tuples

2)   A short description of your project that you will give to the class during our final

timeslot. The presentation should be between 2.5 and 3.5 minutes long and can

include screenshots of your data and the output of your code or a video demonstration of what your program does.
