Welcome to COMP[39]900 21T1

Posted by Rachid Hamadi Monday 15 February 2021, 10:48:30 AM, last modified Monday 15 February 2021, 10:52:03 AM.

Dear COMP[39]900 Students,

Welcome to COMP3900 (Computer Science Project) / COMP9900 (Information Technology Project). My name is Rachid and I am the Course Convenor for 21T1.

Please have a look at the Course Outline to make yourself familiar with the course objectives and assessment requirements.

Please note that you will be working on a project in a team of five (5) members from your lab under the supervision of a mentor/tutor that checks on your project progress on a weekly basis. Lab attendance is mandatory and will be recorded weekly.

Please do have a look at the available generic projects (under Projects page) to choose from or come up with your own project subject to mentor/lecturer approval. If you want to work on a custom/own project, a Custom Project Request Form need to be sent to your mentor by end of Week 1 .

Please also note that labs (or mentoring) sessions start in Week 1 . It is very important that you turn up during Week 1 labs for team formation, project selection, and project brainstorming.

Use the forums I created for each lab under Teams Formation Forums page to help with group formation, once you have found some group members in your enrolled lab, please do coordinate with those members to use the " + Create " button on the WebCMS Groups page to create a group, and then register current members within the created group. Group members can also click " +Join " on the created group to join. One member should be the Admin (or Scrum Master).

For the team/group name, please ensure you include your course code and enrolled lab code as a prefix. For instance, if your course is COMP3900 and your lab code is W11A , and you called your group Fantastic Five , then your full group name in WebCMS3 (and in Jira and GitHub Classroom) would be 3900 W11A Fantastic Five . This will help you keep track of group members, and others to see what groups have already started forming in their lab.

See you tomorrow Tuesday 16 February 2021 at 6pm online using Blackboard Collaborate (the link is in Moodle) for our first lecture.

Looking forward to engaging with you in this course.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Rachid
