### Lesson Plan: Week 14, Session 2 (Session 28)

**Topic**: Final Adjustments and Documentation

**Duration**: 1.5-2 hours (90-120 minutes)

**Date**: Assuming a semester start in late August 2025, this session would occur around early
December 2025 (e.g., December 3, 2025), but aligns with the current date context of February 26, 2025,
if adapted for a different schedule.

**Location**: Classroom or hybrid (in-person with online access to AI platforms)

**Materials Needed**:

- Access to generative AI platforms (e.g., ChatGPT, Grok, or multimodal-capable tools)

- Laptops for students

- Projector/slides for brief intro

- Students’ finalized prototypes and draft report sections (submitted prior or brought to class)

- Whiteboard or digital collaboration tool (e.g., Miro, Jamboard) for notes

- Handout: "Capstone Report and Presentation Tips" (prepared by instructor)

---

### Session Objectives

By the end of this session, students will be able to:

1. Finalize their capstone prompt systems for a polished, functional demo.

2. Complete a comprehensive project report documenting their design process and outcomes.

3. Prepare a concise, effective presentation to showcase their work in Week 15.

### Session Agenda

#### 1. Warm-Up and Introduction (10-15 minutes)

**Objective**: Recap progress and outline the session’s goals.

- **Activity**: Quick check-in (5-7 minutes)

- Ask: "Last session, you refined your prototypes. What’s one improvement you made, and what’s one
thing you still want to polish?"

- Invite 2-3 students to share briefly (focus on homework updates).

- **Overview** (5-8 minutes):

- Recap Session 27: Refinement and troubleshooting.

- Frame today: "This is your last workshop to finalize your project and documentation. We’ll polish your
demo, finish your report, and prep for presentations."

- Distribute "Capstone Report and Presentation Tips" handout: e.g., “Keep demos clear, reports concise,
anticipate Q&A.”

---

#### 2. Mini-Lecture: Finalizing Projects and Documentation (15-20 minutes)

**Objective**: Guide students on completing their deliverables.

- **Content Breakdown**:

1. **Final Adjustments** (5-7 minutes)

- Goal: Ensure the system is demo-ready.

- Tips:

- Test end-to-end functionality (e.g., all prompts work in sequence).

- Optimize outputs (e.g., concise, formatted, error-free).

- Prepare a fallback (e.g., pre-saved outputs if live demo fails).

2. **Writing the Report** (5-7 minutes)

- Structure (3-5 pages):

- Problem: What’s the issue or goal?

- Solution: How does your prompt system address it?

- Process: Key design choices, challenges, iterations.

- Results: What works, what doesn’t, sample outputs.

- Tips: Be specific, include examples, reflect on lessons learned.

3. **Preparing the Presentation** (3-6 minutes)

- Format: 5-7 minutes, demo + explanation.

- Structure: Problem, solution, demo, impact.

- Tips: Practice timing, keep slides simple, expect questions.

- **Delivery**:

- Slides with checklist: “Demo works? Report clear? Slides ready?”

- Quick Q&A: “What’s one part of this you’re worried about?”

#### 3. Hands-On Finalization: Polishing Prototypes and Reports (40-45 minutes)

**Objective**: Complete the capstone system and documentation.

- **Setup** (5 minutes):

- Explain: “Spend the next 35-40 minutes finalizing your project. Split your time: tweak your prototype,
then finish your report draft. Aim for a demo-ready system and a near-final report.”

- Suggest a split: 20 minutes on prototype, 15-20 on report.

- **Task**: "Finalize Your Deliverables" (35-40 minutes)

- Steps:

1. **Prototype Polish** (15-20 minutes):

- Test the full system (e.g., run all prompts in sequence).

- Fix lingering issues (e.g., inconsistent outputs, formatting).

2. **Report Completion** (15-20 minutes):

- Expand draft from homework into 3-5 pages.

- Add sample outputs, reflections (e.g., “I learned to simplify prompts”).

- Proofread for clarity and completeness.

- Deliverable: Functional prototype + draft report.

- **Tools**:

- AI platforms for testing.

- Word processor for report writing.

- **Support**: Instructor circulates to troubleshoot (e.g., “Let’s test this live”) or refine reports (e.g.,
“Can you quantify the impact here?”).

---

#### 4. Peer Review: Feedback on Demos and Reports (25-30 minutes)

**Objective**: Enhance deliverables through peer input.

- **Setup** (5 minutes):

- Form pairs or small groups (2-3 students each).

- Instructions: “Share your prototype demo (2-3 minutes) and a report section (1-2 minutes). Get
feedback on functionality, clarity, and presentation readiness.”

- **Activity**: Review Rounds (20-25 minutes)

- Each student:

- Demos: Run a quick version of their system (e.g., “Here’s my AI research assistant summarizing a
topic”).

- Shares: Read or summarize a report section (e.g., “Here’s my process”).

- Gets feedback: Group suggests:

- Demo: “Does it work smoothly? Is it clear?”

- Report: “Is it detailed enough? What’s missing?”

- Notes: Record actionable suggestions.

- Rotate based on group size (e.g., 2 rounds in pairs).

- **Support**: Instructor joins groups to ensure constructive critique (e.g., “Focus on how this demo will
look to an audience”).

#### 5. Wrap-Up and Homework Assignment (10-15 minutes)

- **Summary** (5-7 minutes):

- Recap: “You’ve finalized your projects and reports—now it’s about presenting with confidence next
week.”

- Preview next session: “Week 15 starts presentations—bring your demo, report, and a 5-7 minute talk.”

- **Homework** (5-8 minutes):

- Task: “Polish your demo based on feedback. Finish your report (3-5 pages). Prepare a 5-7 minute
presentation (slides optional). Practice it at least twice.”

- Due: Next session (Week 15, Session 29).

- Submission: Upload report and slides (if used) to course platform; bring demo to class.

---

### Teaching Strategies

- **Final Push**: Hands-on time ensures deliverables are completed.

- **Peer Support**: Review session refines work through fresh eyes.

- **Presentation Prep**: Ties refinements to audience impact.

- **Flexibility**: Adjusts for varying project complexity.

---

### Assessment

- **Participation (10% of grade)**: Engagement in finalization and review.

---

### Potential Adjustments

- **If Time Is Short**: Shorten peer review to 15-20 minutes (one round).

- **If Students Struggle**: Provide a report template (e.g., headings for problem, solution) during
lecture.

- **For Advanced Students**: Encourage a live API demo or enhanced visuals in presentation.
