Project presentation evaluation

cs681

November 4, 2002

 

Where multiple choices are offered, circle one. Where numbers are offered, 5 is excellent and 1 is poor. You may leave items blank if you think you have insufficient information, but try not to do that very often.

Base your answers on what you find out from the presentation – ignore anything you happen to know from hallway conversations. The questionnaire is anonymous. Be honest – that will help your classmates more than uniformly high scores to make them feel good.

Project description: Is the vision clear and compelling? Is the chosen scope appropriate for the time available and the customer’s needs? How does the project compare with similar applications?

If you really were a venture capitalist interested in investing in a UMass project (in the public interest, not to make a profit), rank the three projects (other than yours!) in the order in which you would choose to support them. Explain your primary reasons for your ranking in a sentence or two.
