Deliverables

• Every week you will be given some tasks as homework. One of these tasks is obligatory and the result of this task must be delivered.

  • Deadline: 5 PM, Monday.

  • Zip the results(sketchbook, data files, images etc) into one single zip file, name it as follows:

    Group<number>_Week<number>_s<studentnumber>.zip

    For example:

    Group2_Week3_s050123.zip

    Using this naming scheme is important, or your submission will be ignored.. Also see Windows Help for how to zip and unzip files in Windows XP or Vista.

  • Deliver the zip file
    • via email
    • as the only attachment
    • to your student assistant.

    • The subject of the email must be "CreaProDeliverable" -- Nothing more, nothing less.

    See HERE for the student assistant to whom you should deliver the result.

  • You are allowed to work together. But clearly mention the student number of the ones you have worked with in the head of your source code as a comment.

• A voluntary demonstration at the end of the assignment. (You'd better start earlier during the assignment, so that you can see it evolving, and get the help from other students, possibly as well as the student assistants).
