Viva ​

You will be required to demonstrate your implementations in a viva. This will include running tests as well as showing PGM image output and working keyboard control.

As part of the viva, we will also discuss your report. You should be prepared to discuss and expand on any points mentioned in your report.

At the start of your viva, you will open the calendar meeting for your viva in Microsoft Teams and start recording your screen. Then, you will open the code folder in your IDE and run your code.

Prepare before the viva

For this to work, you must prepare and test the following before the viva. Not doing so will lead to marks being deducted:

  1. Laptop running, logged in, charged (or bring your charger along, there are power sockets), and connected to eduroam.
  2. Microsoft Teams installed and logged in with your university account. If you want to use the browser version, make sure you have set everything up correctly (log-in, camera and microphone access, ...).
  3. IDE installed, and you know how to open the folder with your code. IntelliJ/GoLand is recommended, but you can use other IDEs such as VS Code if you prefer and know how to use them.
  4. You know how to run your code from your IDE and/or from terminals (especially for distributed).
  5. Any AI features of your operating system or IDE turned off.
  6. For distributed on AWS: your AWS virtual machines are running and you have made a note of the correct IP addresses.
