Submission

First Year Completion Project

Topic

We opened up the range of topics to any Creative Technologies topic from the first two terms. Hence, next to the topics from CC1, CC2, PGS and BAG, you can also refer to a topic from the workshops, such as Physical Computing or XR.

The result of this project needs to be polished but it doesn’t need to be a finished project. It can also be a milestone of a larger project idea on which you want to continue to work on later on, it can be an exploration of a specific topic or technique or it could also be an extension of your orientation project. In your documentation please briefly reflect on your motivation and concept, your execution and the archived results.

Time

Make sure to plan all aspects of the project (idea and concept, implementation and documentation) into the overall time frame.

By default, the project should be manageable in less than 80h, hence less than two weeks. We reduced the time requirement a bit to make up for the additional time you spend on the orientation project this term. However, if you have a great idea and the time to work on it and want to spend more than 80h on the project, you can use ECTS from the upcoming term in which you have about 18 ECTS to fill freely. This must be discussed with us beforehand or the very latest during the project. We will not give you additional ECTS afterwards.

Grading

The grading criteria are

  • conceptual mastery and idea,
  • topic suitability to Creative Technologies,
  • project size,
  • engineering effort, organization and technical quality,
  • the (e.g. visual) quality of the output, and
  • the documentation of the project.

Submission

The submission requirements are

  • a representation of the project that let's us test/experience it, e.g. a build, a website, a video, etc.,
  • at least two representative images (png),
  • access to all source files, and
  • the filled out text template (see below) as documentation.

The deadline is September 30th.
