There is a lot of scam going on with people making themselves out to be refugees. In one case, a couple sold the home that a charity had bought for their family and spent the money foolishly and there are other tales worse than that.\n\nSo, I applaud your willingness to evaluate the projects you give to. The Better Business Bureau evaluates national charities and reports if they have scammed people. This is their site, called Wise Giving Alliance:\nhttp://www.give.org/reports/index.asp\n\ns

Accuracy of data.  Crap in, crap out.  Your analysis is only as reliable as the data which it was built upon.  Do the work necessary up front to ensure that you will receive, retain and transpose data properly.  If you're measuring effectiveness of a program your survey methods have to be developed with an idea in mind.  What are you trying to measure, what are you hoping to learn.  Now, does your survey capture the info that will give you those answers?  \n\nThis is increasingly easier with the automation of our programs, but user error is never to be taken lightly.  \n\nGood luck!

You simply ask this person to share with the team what he/she attributes the success of the project to and what steps he/she took to complete the project.  Watch this person clam up!

What kind of project?

Your project is basic in its scope. What it is asking you for is to make a statement. For example, your premise is “All guys are dumb”!\n\nNow you must set up a study as to how you want to prove your statement. For example: You will conduct a study on asking males and females the same series of question. Further, you can ask all the males questions within their group as well to study how they react amongst themselves. \n\nThis study will provide you with results that you need to review and draw conclusions from. This is the details stage. \n\nIn every study there are variable that need to be considered. Some are controllable some are not. Those that are, you need to identify and control them in a common way amongst all the population of your groups. Those that are not, you need to identify and draw conclusion as to how they will change any of your results if at all. This is your control stage.

If you have a flow chart (as you should have), you could break the whole project down and have a larger number of team members work on subroutines or modules independently. You just have to have an agreed convention of GUI,  passing variables, and error trapping.

What exactly do you mean by evaluate them?   Do you mean that you have done the research but not put a pen to paper?\n\nI suggest you read through what you have done and then just start writing!

1.  If you want an interesting project, try http://www.halfbakery.com/category/Computer Be aware that many of the suggestions there are either impractical, difficult, or not software-related.\n\n2.  Make a game.\n\n3.  If you want to make something new that people will use, ask if anyone has any ideas in the alt.comp.freeware newsgroup (unless you plan to charge) or look through the archives for requests for programs which were unfulfilled.
