Project-Based Learning Initiative: Guidelines and Instructions
This initiative aims to learn with hands-on, collaborative projects that allow one to explore advanced concepts in Graph Learning, Image Processing, and related. Here are the detailed guidelines and instructions to ensure a project is well-structured and aligns with the initiative's goals.
1. Group Structure
Total Members: ? students, divided into ?o specialized groups.
Group A: students focusing on Graph Learning
Group B: students focusing on Image Processing.
2. Objective
The primary objective is to foster a shift from passive learning to active project-based learning. This approach enables you to:
- Deepen theoretical understanding through practical application.
- Engage in projects that align with your research focus area.
3. Project Selection
Criteria for Project Selection:
- Relevance to the group’s specific focus area (Graph Learning or Image Processing).
- Should address a significant problem or explore an innovative concept.
- Feasible to complete within a semester.
Example Project Idea: ???.
4. Project Execution
Timeline: Projects must be completed within one semester.
Collaboration Platform: Use GitHub for version control
Roles of All Members:
- Research relevant papers and source code.
- Contribute to the project’s codebase, documentation, and other materials on GitHub.
- Participate in weekly meetings to discuss progress and address challenges.
Individual Responsibilities:
Literature Review: Each member is assigned specific resources to review and present summaries.
Code Implementation: Members focus on different modules or features to ensure full project coverage.
5. Expected Outcomes
Minimum Outcome: Successful replication of a recent research paper to code implementation.
Desired Outcomes (If possible):
Potential publication of robust and novel results in academic journals or conferences.
6. Benefits of Project-Based Learning
After completion:
- Enhance coding and project management skills.
- Develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities through real-world applications.
- Build a portfolio on GitHub to showcase skills to potential employers.
- Demonstrate teamwork and collaborative skills.
Resilience in Outcomes:
- Even if the project is not publishable, it serves as a valuable addition to your professional portfolio.
7. Project Management and Evaluation
Progress Tracking: Use GitHub Issues and Projects to manage tasks, milestones, and deadlines.
Regular Check-ins: Weekly meetings for updates, insights, and problem resolution.
Final Presentation: At the semester's end, present the project outcomes, highlighting achievements, challenges, and lessons learned.
Thank you. Enjoy Learning
