Project
*******

*  **Worth**: 40% of the final grade

.. important::

    It is a **group** project spread over the whole semester, therefore the amount of work expected is **high**.

Introduction
============

*  This project is a group project (up to 4 students).
*  The project must be based on the simulator `Webots <https://www.cyberbotics.com/>`_
*  The topic is free, but it needs to:

   *  Use some of the content covered in the course,
   *  And push it further.

*  At the end of the project you will submit your code and a report explaining your project, your algorithms and its performance.

Implementation details
======================

*  The code for Webots must be done in python.
*  The environment needs to be more complex than the default one.

Final report
============

*  The final report must be organized as follows:

   *  Introduction
   *  Objectives
   *  Algorithms
   *  Results
   *  Conclusion

*  The report must be written in Latex.
*  You need to submit the Latex file and the pdf file.


Project's steps
===============

The project is divided in different steps with different due dates.

+--------------------+----------------+--------+
|Step                | Due Date       | Worth  |
+====================+================+========+
|Group submission    | January 19th   |        |
+--------------------+----------------+--------+
|Project due         | March 20   th  | 60%    |
+--------------------+----------------+--------+
|Final presentation  | Last two weeks | 40%    |
+--------------------+----------------+--------+

Presentation instructions
=========================

*  It's a 20 minutes presentation.
*  No overtime will be accepted.
*  Common rules about presentations:

   *  You must stand in front of the class.
   *  You should not read your slides.
   *  The slides must not contain too much text.

Marking schemes
===============

*  The detailed marking scheme for the project can be found here: :download:`Project <./marking-project.xlsx>`
*  The detailed marking scheme for the final presentation can be found here: :download:`Project <./marking-presentation.xlsx>`

.. important::

   *  To receive more than 40% for the project, you need to **maintain an average of 60% on the quizz**.
   *  If the code is not working the grade will be 0%.

Academic Integrity
==================

*  Any cheating/plagiarism will be sanctioned by a zero and an automatic report.
*  No exception will be allowed.
*  You can find the academic integrity policy here: `Academic integrity <https://www.mystfx.ca/registrars-office/academic-advising/academic-integrity>`_.
*  A list of non-exhaustive things that are considered cheating/plagiarism:

   *  Submitting someone else code. **Even with citations!**
   *  Asking someone else to do the code or write the report.
   *  Submitting someone else report.
   *  Etc.
