Project Check-In

The purpose of this check-in is for you to convey your progress, present preliminary results, and communicate any changes, challenges, or significant learning moments you’ve encountered.

Instructions:

1. Length: Prepare a written report, 1.5 to 2 pages in length 12pt single spaced. Figures and illustrations are more than welcome, but they don’t contribute to the document length.

2. Content Guide: While your presentation does not have to be finalized at this stage, if you have any tangible results or significant progress, showcase them. Apart from that, aim to answer the following questions:

   • How has your project evolved since the proposal? Have there been any changes to the project idea or approach?
   • What milestones or significant steps have you achieved so far?
   • What challenges or obstacles have you encountered, and how did you address them?
   • Have you learned anything surprising or unexpected while working on this project?
   • Are there any changes in the AI technologies or methods you’re employing for the project?
   • Do you anticipate any roadblocks or challenges in the coming stages? If so, how do you plan to address them?
   • Reflecting on the feedback received from the proposal stage, have you made any alterations or taken any new directions?
   • If you’ve obtained preliminary results, what do they signify about your project’s direction or outcomes?

3. Figures: You are encouraged to include figures, graphs, or illustrations that can help elucidate your progress or challenges. Ensure these are properly labeled, and provide a brief description or caption for each.

4. Reflection: Share some of your experiences while working on the project. Discuss what you’ve learned, any shifts in your perspective, or how this project has contributed to your understanding of AI’s application and potential.

5. Questions and Requests for Feedback: If there are specific areas where you’d like feedback or have questions, please highlight them in your report.

6. Contribution & Work Division: Please include a section indicating each group member’s contribution so far, and how you plan to divide the remaining work.

Evaluation Criteria

Your check-in will be evaluated based on:

• The clarity and coherence of your progress update.
• Depth of reflection on experiences and challenges.
• Relevance and quality of included figures or illustrations.
• Demonstrated progress so far.

Remember, the intent of this check-in is not to present a finished project but to convey what’s happened so far and get feedback.
