Project Aim, Objectives, Evaluation Criteria, Deliverables, Technical and Non-Technical Resources Required
Project Aim
Reminder
Project Aim
This is the “thesis” of the project Consider using Bloom’s Taxonomy
Verbs in stating your aim. e.g. “This research will measure how
Web 2.0 tools can improve collaboration and knowledge sharing”
Bloom’s Taxonomy
Bloom, B.S. (Ed.) (1956) Taxonomy of educational objectives
Bloom, B.S. (Ed.) (1956) Taxonomy of educational objectives
Bloom’s Taxonomy
•Evaluation: appraise, argue, assess, attach, choose, compare, defend, estimate, judge, predict, rate, score, select, support, value
•Synthesis: arrange, assemble, collect, compose, construct, create, design, develop, formulate, manage, organize, plan, prepare
•Analysis: analyze, appraise, calculate, categorize, compare, contrast, criticize, differentiate, discriminate, distinguish, examine
•Application: apply, choose, demonstrate, dramatize, employ, illustrate, interpret, operate, practice, schedule, sketch, solve, use
•Comprehension: classify, describe, discuss, explain, express, identify, indicate, locate, recognize, report, restate, review
•Knowledge: arrange, define, duplicate, label, list, memorize, name, order, recognize, relate, recall, repeat, reproduce state
Project Aim
Project Aim
Complete the following sentences:
“The aim of this project is to ...”
“This will be done by ...”
“It will be evaluated by ...”
Project Objectives
Reminder
Project Objectives
Typically between 4 and 7 objectives The objectives are the milestones in
reaching your project aim.
Project Objectives
Suggested objectives Review appropriate research Identify interesting approaches Identify a range of opinions Design the experiment Execute the experiment Analyze the results
Project Objectives
Project Objectives
These are generic objectives, create ones that are specific to your project: Review appropriate research Identify interesting approaches Identify a range of opinions Design the experiment Execute the experiment Analyze the results
Evaluation Criteria
Reminder
Evaluation Criteria
About half a page for this section
How you intend to implement and evaluate your research?
What methods are you going to use, both quantitative and qualitative?
Evaluation Criteria
How have other researchers who have done similar projects in the past evaluated their projects?
Is there a standard model, framework, or instrument to be used?
Evaluation Criteria
Can you find a formal framework for assessing the outcome the a previous project has already used?
Use standards? IEEE 829 Standard for Software Test
Documentation. ISO 9126 and ISO 14598 (which are
standards on software evaluation)
Evaluation Criteria
Suggested criteria The suitability of the design The suitability of the experiment The suitability of the evaluation
Evaluation Criteria
How do you evaluate the project? How effective were the methods?
Did the combination of quantitative and qualitative techniques match the research?
How effective were the tools you used? Did the tools prove to be suitable?
How effective were they at measuring your research question? Did the tools accurately model the research
question?
Evaluation Criteria
Evaluation Criteria
If you haven’t checked yet, explore the literature, and find out how these type of projects are evaluated. Google and GoogleScholar things like: “Project topic” evaluation “Project topic” metrics “Project topic” standards “Project topic” ISO “Project topic” framework
Evaluation Criteria
Write down two criteria under each of the following headings: The suitability of the design The suitability of the experiment The suitability of the evaluation
Also, remember that measurements like: Area under the Curve Misclassification Error Confusion Matrix N-fold Cross Validation ROC Graph Log-Loss and Hinge-Loss
Evaluation Criteria
...are good for evaluating the analysis, so they are good for checking how good the model is based on the dataset, and are definitely part of the evaluation, but if you want to discuss the findings with respect to the real-world (and to the research question) you must do the following:
Test predictions using the real-world
