In anticipation of the Major Team Project, the Program Director will assign students to teams. The PS 622 Course Instructor will provide general direction to all teams during the project term, and each team will be assigned to a faculty member or external consultant, who will serve as their Project Advisor. Following specifications provided to students, teams will develop a project proposal, including a detailed breakdown of the work to be undertaken by each member, which will be approved by the Project Advisor, in consultation with the Course Instructor.
Teams will coordinate work tasks, keep a record of individual contributions to the project and produce a professional, thorough analysis which demonstrates the knowledge and skills they have acquired in the program. The MPS program will facilitate student collaboration by providing access to web-based communication. Upon completion, the Project Advisor will evaluate the project and determine a final grade, in consultation with the Course Instructor and/or Program Director.
