Project information
This project will continue a long collaboration between the Finnish Museum of Natural History and the Department of Computer Science. The Museum has more than 200 000 recordings of more than 200 bird species' nests that have been collected since the 1950's. The project will produce software to record and manage nest monitoring data. This includes database design, programming, and user interface design and implementation. However, participants decide on the exact goals and tasks together with the customer.
Kurssin suorittaminen
To complete the course, participants must be present during agreed times and participate actively in the project work and research activities. The course uses an expert- and peer-grading system to assign grades to each participant. Participants are required to participate in the peer-grading and the debriefing session.
