CMPT 355 Demonstration Schedule 2016

Each team needs to meet with Prof. Carter on Dec 5 or 6 as indicated below to demonstrate your team project.

Remember your project is due to be completed on Monday Dec. 5 at 8:00 a.m. 

Students will hand in electonic copies of their Part b of the project at the start of their scheduled demnostration.

There is no excuse for not being ready for your scheduled demonstration. Even if some team members have a legitimate excuse (one that is acceptable to the Professor), the remaining team members will be required to demonstrate in the time allotted in the schedule. Likewise, there is no excuse for not having your complete project report and code recorded on a CD (or other electronic medium that the professor can keep) for handing in at the time of your demonstration.

It is expected that your whole team will come on time for this demonstration. Demonstrations should be designed to show as much as possible how you have met and exceeded the project requirements. Expect to be asked  to demonstrate how your system accomplishes different things during your demonstration. Be sure that everything is working before your demonstration. 

Warning: Last minute programming changes that have not been thoroughly tested have a habit of causing major problems. 

Marks will be awarded for what is demonstrated only, not for what might have been demonstrated. There will be no opportunity for any additional time to demonstrate your system  beyond the 1 hour that your team has scheduled.

You may use your own computer to connect to the projector in the room, but be sure to test ahead of time that it will work as there is no extra time for if you run into technical difficulties. 

• Technical support for connecting your computer will not be available during the demonstration time.
• A failure to demonstrate, incuding connection problemas that your team could have avoided, will result in a failing mark.

NOTE: You will not be allowed to make repairs during your demonstration.

• You should start by making a 10-15 minute presentation to the instructor that explains your new database structure (from parts A,B,C) and and an introduction to the triggers that you have implemented successfully including explaining what led you to design it in the way you did.
• Your presentation should be accompanied by a clear set of Powerpoint slides (using clear English language words rather than internal database names), that explain:
• the set of tables involved in your design
• the tables and information attributes related to major concepts in your design
• the triggers that you have successfully implemented
• NOTE: the diagram from dbvisualizer is NOT acceptable
  
• You should then expect to spend approximately 20-30 minutes demonstrating features (from parts F,G,H of your project) of your system, and to spend some additional time answering questions from Prof. Carter. 
• The demonstration will be led by Prof. Carter asking you to do various things that your database should be able to do according to your presentation at the start of this demonstration.
• Marks will be awarded to what can be demonstrated during your assigned time. If your demonstration fails, the marks for your demonstration will reflect this. Please be prepared.
• NOTE: You must have scripts (functions and triggers already installed in your database) ready to use with dbvisualizer. You will not be allowed to create scripts on the fly during your demonstration. If you have created any interactive programs to work with your database, you may use them, as long as they only make use of predefined functions and triggers. Dynamic SQL capabilities are not be allowed to create new transactions that were not pre-defined.
  
• At the end of this session, Prof. Carter will inquire whether or not each of the team members contributed equally to the project.
• NOTE: If it appears that contributions were not equal, Prof. Carter will need to get further information from each individual team member so that he can determine any marks adjustments that are warranted.
  

All demonstrations will take place 371 Spinks (one of the breakout rooms next to the main lab).
