Team Projects
Your team will make a presentation about your project on Wednesday, Oct. 8. Your write-up will be due on to Brightspace on Friday, Oct. 17.
In-Class Presentations:
For class on Wednesday October 9, you and your partner will give a short presentation for the class in which you describe the problem, discuss any interesting obstacles of problems you encountered in coding the model and how you fixed them (or why you couldn???t fix them), and what you discovered from running the model and doing one of the assigned exercises (see the below for which exercise your group will present). One partner should present about coding and testing the model and the other should present about what you learned from the model
- Your in-class presentation should be 6–7 minutes long, and there will be a short time for questions, for a total of 10 minutes.
- For your in-class presentation you should present the answer to one exercise (see the table below), and for your written report, you should include answers to all three of the exercises your team was assigned.
Written Report
By the end of the day (before midnight) on Friday October 17, upload a written report to Brightspace on the procedures, results, and interpretation of the textbook exercises associated with this project. The report should be a minimum of two pages, double-spaced, in PDF or Microsoft Word format. This is a team project, so you and your partner should work together to write a single report. Any member of the team can upload the report to Brightspace on behalf of the whole team. Be sure to give your report a title and include the names of all the authors (team members).
In addition to the report, you should also upload a ZIP file containing your model or models (NetLogo files) and any other files your model requires.
