Milestones
There are several milestones scheduled over the course of the
semester. The primary purpose of the milestones is to help ensure that
you are making progress on the project.
Milestone 0
This one is unlike the later milestones. Milestone 0 is simply an
opportunity for you to get feedback on your project ideas. You will not
receive a grade for milestone 0. The more preparation you have done
before your milestone 0 meeting, the more likely it is that you'll get
value out of it.
Milestones 1-3
In your project proposal you will include concrete goals for
milestones 1-3. During these milestone meetings we will discuss how
well your progress is tracking you plan. These milestones will be a
small part of your overall course grade. You do not need to have
achieved your goals to get full credit for a milestone. However, if you
have not achieved your goals, you must have a credible explanation for
why you did not and you must have adjusted the remaining goals to
accommodate the schedule slippage.
