address issue of startup vs other CS culminating that aren't necessarily consumer facing #68

Closed timofei7 closed 4 years ago

timofei7 commented 5 years ago

This feels like a CS culminating experience that's trying very hard to get into YCombinator and doing both at an OK level. Half the time, I feel like this is startup school, half the time it's actually a culminating project for the major. It's often hard to reconcile the two, especially if you're not building a project that's not some consumer facing app. Perhaps making the structure of the class more fluid, to accomodate more types of projects; or alternatively, making the project requirements stricter to only be startup-y.

added slide to address, will keep in mind as term goes on. definitely want possibility of more researchy things as well. reconcile in further milestones.

writing papers/posters did not work - focus on creating a product less on writeup but still promote possibility of more experimental products
