Information Part 1

Wiki Article and Presentation

• Each student will be assigend to a specific topic
• Some topics are more extensice than others. Therefore more students will be assigend to more extensive topics
• Each student will create a wiki page which contains all detailed information about his topic
• Each student will give a 10min presentation about his topic
• The presenation is an abstrat of his wiki article
• Therefore the wiki article will present the information about his topic in more detail
• Each topic description comes with a indroduction literature serving as a starting point
• It is expected that the student find more literature about his topic
• Furthermore links to multimedia content and other sources should be integrated in the wiki article
• Try to summarize the content of your sources in your own word
• Always cite your sources of information
• The wiki article should be written in a form that somebody who don't know anything about the topic can understand it
• Almost all topics are dealing with practical programming
• Provide example in the form of vvvv patches
• The vvvv patches should be well documented
• The vvvv patches should be understandable by every seminar particpant and reproducable by them
• You should uplaod your presentation as a PDF and a PPTX to the wiki and link them on your wiki page
• On Friday one week before the presentation you will have one advice-conversation with Daniel Klinkhammer
• On that day your prsentation should have an advandced status
• The grading of the wiki article and the presentation will worth 40% of your final grade

Side Project

• Beside the Wiki Article you should work on a small side project
• This side project don't have to be related to your assigned topic (but it can if you want)
• You can work alone on that side project or with a partner
• If you want to work in a team of two please look for a partner on your own
• The side project should cover a small patch
• You are free in the choice with hardware you use
• The goal of the side project is that you use your own creativity and enhance existing patches or create totally new ones
• In the middle of the seminar we will have a patch presentation day
• On that day every student should present her patches
• You don't have to prepare any slides or documentation for your patch
• The side project is your playground!
• Make something COOL FUN CREATIVE …
• The grading of the side project will worth 20% of your final grade

Group Project:

• The group project will start 20.06.2014
• The group project will worth 40% of your final grade
