Project ( PROA )
The project is assessed in six parts:
Problem specification - due 2022-09-22
Upload the slide(s) for your problem specification presentation.
Give a brief oral presentation at the Problem Formulation Seminar, including:
- introduction of your project
- supervisor(s)
- background to the project
- aims and goals
- an initial project plan
- methods you are likely to use
- consideration to ethical, environmental and economic impact of your project and/or the topic in general.
This year, the presentations for the problem formulation seminar are limited to five minutes, followed by up to three minutes for questions from the audience and chairperson.
Up to four points can be awarded for the slides submitted to Canvas. A further point shall be awarded if the submitted slides are presented during the seminar (or an equivalent exercise is completed, by arrangement with the examiner).
Written report - due 2022-11-13
Submit your written report for your project. There is no strict length limit, but the efficiency with which you communicate your content will be considered, so do not make the report longer than necessary. I suggest you do not write more than 15 pages, but if you have lots of content, a longer report may be appropriate - it is your job to judge the most appropriate length of report!
If any grading criterion is failed, the entire assignment will be failed and you will be invited to improve the report.
The written report is worth 40 points towards the overall assessment. The points from this assignment will then be added to your overall score to contribute to your final grade out of 100, which will be converted to a letter grade using the standard KTH grade boundaries.
Poster - due 2022-11-16
Upload a poster for printing and display. The file must be a PDF and the correct aspect ratio (shape) for printing at A1 size. You should prepare a talk of 2-3 minutes to explain your poster in case we get time during the seminar to do so.
The points you score in this assignment will be added to those from the written report, slideshow, presentation and opposition report to give an overall score out of 100 for the course and to assign a letter grade based on the standard KTH grade boundaries.
Slideshow for use at the International Seminar - due 2022-11-20
Upload your finished slideshow that you will use at the online seminar. The design of your slides is graded here and not in the assignment for the presentation itself.
You may update or edit your slides after submitting them, for use in the seminar, but the submitted slides will be assessed in this assignment and used to form your final grade, not the updated slides.
The points you score in this assignment will be added to those from the poster, presentation, written report and opposition report to give an overall score out of 100 for the course. Your final letter grade will be based on the overall score according to standard KTH grade boundaries.
Opposition report - due 2022-11-21
Critically assess the content of the extended abstract submitted by a researcher from NTNU. In particular, you should suggest ways in which the research could be improved in the future. Along with your overall report (⩽1 pages), include questions that you might ask during the seminar. You do not have to ask any of these questions during the final seminar and you can make up new questions during the presentation. It is common for the information you need from NTNU to write your opposition report to arrive late - in that case, you will be given extra time to complete your report without any loss of credit.
Presentation at the International Seminar - 2022-11-23/24
This is the assignment for your presentation at the seminar. It does not include the slide show itself, as this is graded separately. However, the slide show forms part of your presentation and so contributes to this assignment indirectly.
Overall grade
The points you score in eachassignment will be added together to give an overall score out of 100 for the course. Your final letter grade will be based on the overall score.
