Semester Elective Project

Mid-project Deliverable

You must submit your mid-project deliverable as a zip file on the appropriate Canvas assignment. You must include the following items:

  1. README.txt - Short description of other files, especially any that are not mandated by this description.
  2. discussion.pdf - Document where you discuss your progress so far. What have you accomplished? What discoveries have you made? What roadblocks have you hit? What elements do you plan on including in your final project poster? Are you on track to finish the project by the final due date? If not, what do you plan to do to get back on track? There's no need to be verbose here (a few paragraphs should suffice--keep it under two pages) but be as detailed as possible.
  3. source code - Include any relevant source code and instructions on how to build and run it (Makefile preferred!). Unless otherwise arranged, your code should compile and run on the cluster.
  4. data - If your program requires any data sets, make sure you include these as well. If they are larger than a few MB, please upload them to a file server and provide the link (or just give me the link if you downloaded them from somewhere yourself).

This submission will be graded on its correctness, completeness, thoroughness, and scope. Because every project is different, it is impossible to provide a single rubric. Each submission will be graded based on its individual merit. I will provide some written feedback and assign you an overall letter grade for this submission as follows:

Exceptional A
Good B
Satisfactory C
Deficient D
Unacceptable F

The goal of this submission is to make sure you are on track to submit the final version when it is due.
