Final Project Guidelines

We ended the semester working on a perl program that analyzes the content of basketball reports in the UDK. The program reports the teams that played, the winning team, and the final score. For the final class project, I would like you to add an additional feature to the program which provides information about another aspect of the game. Some possibilities include::

         a. a routine for field goals

         b. a routine for individual players

         c. a routine for turnovers

         d. a routine that resolves pronoun reference (really hard!)

You should turn in a two to five page write up for your final program which explains what your routine does and how it achieves this goal. The write up should include a general assessment of the good and bad features of the program, an additional feature that would be a benefit to the program, and a feature that you do not think the program would be able to analyze along with your reason why this feature would not be possible to augment. Finally, compare your content analysis program to another content analysis program you can find on the web. Be sure to include the URL for this other content analysis program. The final project should include:

         a. your program

         b. your report

Project due: Dec. 16th
