## Short Presentation
|
|
|
On Saturday, 16th April, each student will make a short (10-15 minute) presentation on their chosen FOSS project. That presentation should provide basic information on the project and its structure, and present the work that you have done during the lab times over the previous week.
|
|
|
|
|
|
While this presentation is part of your assessment, it is also a chance for you to get feedback that you can use to help produce good reports for the remaining two main parts of the assessment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To assist with your presentation you may choose to have either:
|
|
|
* a set of LibreOffice slides,
|
|
|
* a PDF, or
|
|
|
* a PDF file, or
|
|
|
* a set of web pages.

The project work part of your assessment comes from you working on a FOSS project of your choice. There are no strict rules on what form that work should take, but you should try to choose something that demonstrates your ability to work with the project, and demonstrates your understanding of the principles of FOSS collaboration.

You also do not need to restrict yourself to a single contribution to the project. For example, you may wish to make contributions to several different areas of the project. Contributions to the documentation, web pages, test suites and bug handling can be just as important as contributions to the projects source code.

## Plagiarism
|
|
|
ANU has very strong policies on Academic Misconduct, which students are reminded of.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Plagiarism is taken even more seriously in this course, and in the FOSS community in general. If you use someone elses work in making your assignment, then you must cite that work, giving credit where credit is due. If you don't then you may receive zero for the whole assignment. Please cite carefully! If in doubt, ask Bob or Paul for assistance.

Plagiarism is taken even more seriously in this course, and in the FOSS community in general, as it directly opposes the notion of meritocracy. If you use someone elses work in making your assignment, then you must cite that work, giving credit where credit is due. If you don't then you may receive zero for the whole assignment. In a worse case scenario, you may be excluded from the University.
