As
for the improvements of the practical track (if applicable): please make an appointment
with Gerritjan and Gerrit as soon as you are ready for demonstration but before
14th May 2007 (gerritjan.boshuizen@hu.nl,
gerrit.spronk@hu.nl).
Find
below the detailed seminar report judgements. Those students that do not have a
sufficient mark for the seminar report (and who do want to take the opportunity
to improve the report) can use this detailed information for knowing how to
improve the duo-part as well as the group-part of the seminar report. However,
report re-submissions should be done and written individually (per
individual student; NOT per duo; NOT per group): you are allowed to improve
both the duo part as well as the group part, but individually. Deadline date for improved full seminar
reports (= duo part and group part) is 14 May 2007; please send it individually
to elab2007@cs.uu.nl. If you re-submit you must start changing the report as from the
originally submitted text (submitted on 13 April 2007) in REVIEW-mode: this is
mandatory, so that we can easily track your suggested changes. The same holds for
submissions only including the meta questions and answers.

Following
the instructions for writing the seminar report (see week
15), i.e. the judgement criteria, the following legenda holds for the
detailed table:
Duo-part:
3-
Intro: Introduction per duo contribution
4-
Validation: Quality of validation per duo contribution
5-
Results: Quality of validation results per duo contribution
8-
Appendix: Quality of literature overview, interview details and company details
Group
part:
1-
Participants: Clearness of contributions and who wrote what
2-
Structure: Clearness of structure of the report
7-
Introduction: Quality of the Introduction of the overall (group) report
6-
Conclusion: Overall report conclusion
9-
Pages limitation: Degree to which the 22-pages limit (excluding appendices) has
been adhered to

is not (yet) sufficient or you were not present (or ill) you get the

for demonstration but before 14th May 2007 (gerritjan.boshuizen@hu.nl, gerrit.spronk@hu.nl) .

April 2007: The writing of a report for the practical track results(Cordys) is
cancelled; marks for the Cordys part will be determined by the quality of your
work, and the presentations at the HU on 12 April 2007. Instead, you are (all!)
asked to fill-in the electronic evaluation form, which will include specific
questions on the practical track. This form equals the ‘regular’ evaluation
form, and will be made available by the end of the course. Note that writing
the validation report for the scientific track (seminar) continues to be
mandatory (details: see week 15).
