## Final project
|

|

**OSS University** is **project-focused**.
|
||||
You are encouraged to do the assignments and exams for each course, but what really matters is whether you can *use* your knowledge to solve a real world problem.
|

|
||||
> "What does it mean?"
|
||||
|
||||
After you finish the curriculum, you should think about a problem that you can solve using the knowledge you've acquired.
|
||||
Not only does real project work look great on a resume, the project will **validate** and **consolidate** your knowledge.
|
||||
|
||||
The final projects of all students will be listed in [this](PROJECTS.md) file.
|
||||
**Submit your project's information in that file after you conclude it**.
|
||||
|
||||
Put the OSSU-CS badge in the README of your repository!

### Which programming languages should I use?
|
||||
|
||||
My friend, here is the best part of liberty!
|
||||
You can use **any** language that you want to complete the final project.
|
||||
|
||||
The important thing is to **internalize** the core concepts and to be able to use them with whatever tool (programming language) that you wish.

## Project-based
|

|

**OSS University** is **project-focused**.
|

You are encouraged to do the assignments and exams for each course, but what really matters is whether you can *use* your knowledge to solve a real world problem.

In order to show everyone that you successfully finished a course, you should create a **real project**.

> "What does it mean?"
|
||||
|
||||
After you finish a course, you should think about a problem that you can solve using the acquired knowledge in the course.
|
||||
It doesn't have to be a big project, but rather it should show the world that you are capable of creating something useful with the concepts that you learned.
|
||||
|
||||
It won't make sense to do a project for *every* course, as some have no immediate practical application.
|
||||
But anytime you gain practical skills (e.g., a new programming language), you should use it right away to **validate** and **consolidate** your knowledge.
|
||||
|
||||
The projects of all students will be listed in [this](PROJECTS.md) file.

And you should also...

|
||||
## Be creative!
|
||||
|
||||
This is a **crucial** part of your journey through all those courses.
|
||||
|
||||
You **need** to have in mind that what you are able to create with the concepts that you learned will be your certificate **and this is what really matters**!
|
||||
|
||||
In order to show that you **really** learned those things, you need to be **creative**!
|
||||
|
||||
Here are some tips about how you can do that:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Articles**: create blog posts to synthesize/summarize what you learned.
|
||||
- **GitHub repository**: keep your course's files organized in a GH repository, so in that way other students can use it to study with your annotations.

This curriculum assumes the student has already taken high school math, including algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus.
|

Some high school students will have taken calculus, but this is usually only about 3/4 of a college calculus class, so the calculus courses listed above are still recommended.
