Students create teams, each representing their specialization, to solve a current technology challenge. The purpose of this course is for students from all the different Informatics tracks to come together and work on a real world Informatics related problem. This course will require completion of 100 hours in a field placement. During their field placement students will work as part of a team comprised of their peers from other In- formatics tracks to complete a capstone project. The project itself will be dictated by the individual needs of the placement and the strengths of the team. The Instructor of I INF 465 will act as a mentor to the student teams and help to guide them through their projects. May be repeated for credit up to a total of 6 credits with permission of department. Pre-requisite(s): Informatics seniors only and instructor permission.
You will work in teams on the development of Listening Here, a geo-located mobile web app for creative and mindful listening (http://listeninghere.org). Some of the projects your team might be working on include: programming, web development, tutorial creation, database usage, graphic design, and testing. Each student whose work is integrated into the live app will be credited and will be able to include this experience on their CV.
You are expected to use your available resources (your expertise, your colleagues’ expertise, your problem-solving skills, your research skills, etc.) to solve the technical problems you are assigned. Push yourself, but know your limits. If you find you have hit too many dead ends, consult the instructor.

syllabusINF465s2019.pdf is the syllabus. Read it. You know how they say there is no such thing as a bad question? They're wrong. A bad question is when you ask a question and the answer was in the syllabus all along. If you have a question, make sure it hasn't already been answered. If you ask a question to clarify something specific that you found confusing after reading the syllabus, that is appropriate and encouraged.
