How to create an applied project for undergraduate students
Student projects: what are they for?
Project activities for students were introduced into the HSE undergraduate educational programs in 2014. This practice has two goals: to give students the opportunity to try themselves in real work in the chosen specialty and to gain experience in applying the acquired knowledge, skills and abilities in practice.
You can create such a project if you have a task or assignment that students can do. Thus, when executing the project:
The customer organizes a workflow or solves a specific problem in an organization / department;
Students consolidate the learned material in the process of working on the project.
The concept of the project has been formed, there is an interest in it Customer
Registration of an application for a project for Project Fair an employee of the Higher School of Economics
Students sign up for a project, students are selected
The general system of organizing work on a project at the Higher School of Economics is as follows:
Summing up the results of the project, student assessment
Project work
The main feature of the project is the inclusion of students in work on practical tasks that require students to use the knowledge, discipline and responsibility acquired in the learning process. Such tasks can be assigned to students by both HSE departments and external customers. It is important that the project manager is an employee of the Higher School of Economics.
What kind of projects can students do?
You can attract students to work on a project if the purpose of its implementation is a specific product that can be used for applied or research purposes. Also, students can be involved in the organization and implementation of some process - conferences, Olympiads, excursions, open days, etc.
Based on this, projects can be classified into three types:
If the main goal of the project is to conduct research that implies the receipt as a result of some scientific or scientific-applied product, for example, an article / publication, report, analytical review or note, application for a scientific grant, methodological manual, etc. - that project research;
In the case when the main goal of the project is to solve some applied problem, such as the development and justification of a design solution, the creation of a business plan or business case, especially for an external customer - the project belongs to applied;
a project involving the participation of students in the organization of an event or in the implementation of organizational processes (organization of feedback from a teacher and students, technical preparation of training materials, organizational assistance in the course of classes, etc.) - service project.
How to prepare such a project?
When preparing a project application, you will need to answer the following questions:
What will be the name of the project?
Who will lead the project?
Which department is the customer for the project?
When should the project be completed?
How many credits can be assigned per project?
Example: A project lasts 10 weeks and each participating student spends 5 hours a week on it. Thus, in total, students will work 50 hours, which is the complexity of the project in 2 credits.
Example 2: To complete a project, you need to spend 300 hours on it. So, if you open 4 vacancies on the project, it turns out that each student will spend 75 hours on its implementation. The complexity of the project in this case is equal to 3 credits.
Note. The project manager decides for himself which way to round off the clock. If there are few vacancies, and the work is complex, it is recommended to round up the hours up (i.e., for example, 35 hours can be rounded up to 50 and the labor intensity can be assigned to 2 credits). If the work is group and routine, it is recommended to round down.
How many students can be involved in the project?
If you do not know how many students you need, this number can be obtained based on the project lead time and the total number of hours required to complete it (or hours spent on a project per week).
Students have both classroom and extracurricular activities, and usually a student can allocate from 1 to 6 hours a week to a project (for especially urgent projects - up to 15 hours). This will allow you to determine the number of students you need.
Example: if the project requires spending 8 hours a week, then you can attract 1 student, or 2 students who will work 4 hours a week, or 4 students who will work 2 hours a week (labor intensity in loans will be correspondingly lower) ...
Example 2: a total of 200 hours are required to complete the project, and the project will take 10 weeks to complete. It turns out that on average 20 hours per week are needed on a project. If each student is required to work on a project for 4 hours per week, then the project will require 5 vacancies.
Where will the students work?
How will students be assigned tasks?
What educational programs (and courses) do you invite students to participate in?
Example: students of the EP "Oriental Studies", "International Relations" and "Political Science", courses from 3 to 4.
What other requirements should there be for potential project participants?
Where will meetings with project participants and student work take place (if not remotely)?
What are the keywords that characterize the project?
What else is required to be indicated in the project application?
If at the previous stage all information about the organizational side of the project has been collected, then at this stage it is required to describe its substantive part.
The project description should indicate:
General description of the goals and objectives of the project;
Information about the external customer (if any);
Activities performed by the student in the project / practiced skills
The planned result of work on the project;
Criteria for evaluating the final result;
Criteria for assessing the individual contribution of students to work.
Also, one of the key points of the project work is the assessment of the final result and the contribution of students to the work.
In relation to research and applied projects, the result can be assessed by external criteria, for example, acceptance of an article for publication, coincidence of forecasts with reality, changes in observed characteristics, etc. at the same time, the most effective and recommended way to assess the results of a project is its public defense before the customer... This item is optional for a service project.
The assessment of the student's contribution to work may entirely depend on the assessment of the result of the project, or it may be differentiated, in which the number of credits is accrued depending on the student's fulfillment of his project tasks, meeting deadlines, etc.
All items on the page for adding a project are required. The block "Description of the project" should contain basic information about the content of the work on the project (no more than 500 characters). It is best to attach a detailed description of the project as a separate file (available in the same section).
After filling in all the required fields, you can send it for consideration to the Directorate of Basic Educational Programs. After reviewing the project for compliance with all the requirements specified in the Instructions, the project will be published at the Fair and available to students.
For potential customers:
If you have an interest in implementing a project with HSE students, but you are not an employee of HSE and do not have professional contacts with HSE faculty members who could act as project leaders, take advantage of the following opportunities:
write to us about your idea at [email protected];
contact by contacts on the portal www.hse.ru with the leaders of the educational program or department, the students of which are suitable for you for the purpose of the project.

Creative experiment "Labyrinth of Nautilus" is an attempt to combine the drama of Marina Tsvetaeva and the lyrics of the Nautilus Pompilius group on one stage.
The story is based on the myth of Theseus and Ariadne, which once amazed Marina Tsvetaeva and inspired the creation of the tragedy "Ariadne". The myth of Theseus and Ariadne only at first glance seems to be a textbook, forgotten on the pages of textbooks. The story retold by Tsvetaeva and the text of Nautilus were reflected in the script of the play, in which I want to talk about what they are silent about ...

November 16 in the building of the Financial University, located at st. Kibalchicha, 1, hosted a charity fair, called the fair with
Wall
Street
, whose main task was to raise funds for the Sheredar Foundation, which helps children with oncology.
To the fair E was presented with sweet treats prepared by students of the Faculty of Credit and Economics. The fair was attended by 14 chefs, who presented over 20 options for various pastries.
The fair was held in the form of an interactive game, where every person who bought the products prepared by our students also received shares of manufacturers. The idea was that the fair was a kind of stock exchange, with unique securities of certain manufacturers, which gave students the opportunity to try themselves as a trader on an imaginary stock exchange. We believe that we managed to get people interested, immerse them in the atmosphere of trading and provide an opportunity to contribute to charity.
Following the results of the Fair with Wall - street we were able to collect the amount of money needed by the Sheredar Foundation to implement their rehabilitation programs, and we also managed to successfully conduct a business game. Next year we will definitely hold another charity fair and, perhaps, the Sheredar Foundation will again become our partner.
From February 6 to February 21, a project was carried out by the Student Council of the Faculty of Credit and Economics of the Financial University. The main tasks of the project were: to diversify and embellish the student routine, to allow the children to open their feelings and publicly express them, to give many an opportunity to confess their love, to give students an unusual format of a popular holiday.
Two couples in love took part in the project, who passed three tests throughout the project: a business card that allows other students to get to know the couple; an interview in which a couple reveals their secrets and gives an opportunity to check how well the lovers know each other; and a test in which a couple is asked to test their feelings for strength and find out what they are ready for for each other.
We believe that we have succeeded in capturing the attention of most of the students through intrigue in the competition. Almost 600 people took part in the final voting, which indicates the interest of students in this project. In the future, this project can be promoted and made larger, we hope for the participation of more couples, as many this time wanted to "just watch", because the project was carried out for the first time. Next time these guys will be able to try themselves already as participants.

On March 4, a project was carried out from the Student Council of the Faculty of Credit and Economics of the Financial University called "Qvest 221B".
The project went well: more participants were announced than originally planned (about 60 people), but the organizers did an excellent job with a large number of students. The quest took place in a slightly unusual format: it was as close as possible to the famous British TV series "Sherlock", literally saturated with a subtle English atmosphere. It was possible to convey this through the images of the organizers and riddles that Sherlock could not cope with. Everything was thought out to the smallest detail: the appearance of the trackers, and their speech, and the organization of the project itself. The guys perfectly foresaw and prescribed every minute of the project, thanks to which the participants did not have to sit around or get bored. And, of course, it is worth mentioning the cool prizes: 1000 minutes in the anti-cafe, tickets to the Artplay exhibition and to the theater, is it worth saying how happy the winners were?
Also, after the project, a survey was conducted among the project participants, the result of which showed that not only the winners of the quest were satisfied. The students were glad that they took part and noted that they were not sorry for the time spent.
And the KEF Student Council considers this project one of the best of its own projects and hopes to be held annually.
Time is rapidly advancing ... The Great Patriotic War has become history. New generations of people have grown up who have never heard the thunder of guns and the explosions of bombs. Trenches and trenches were overgrown with grass. On a land scorched by war, life triumphs.
But the war does not allow itself to be forgotten. She is in the eyes of a veteran, in front-line postcards and letters ...
Students of the Faculty of Credit and Economics have joined the "Letter to a Veteran" campaign. With the help of these letters, the guys were able to convey to the participants of the Great War a particle of their warmth and attention. These are veterans of the Great Patriotic War, and home front workers, and the children of Leningrad - everyone who was touched by the War with its fiery breath.
The action took place on April 24th. Students of our faculty wrote letters with trepidation: some were just veterans, and some were their great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers. The guys are proud of their country, its great feat! A feat of all people who survived the horror of the war.
War is the greatest tragedy in the history of our people. For us to live happily today, 27 million people gave their lives. And we must remember those who gave us the most important thing - our life.
From May 15 to May 19, the project "Week of KEF-2017" was carried out from the Student Council of the Faculty of Credit and Economics of the Financial University.
Every day throughout the project, the CCt KEF activists tried to diversify the everyday life of students and teachers. Every day of the project was special and memorable.
On May 15, the "Day of Kindness" took place. As part of this day, students and all employees on the territory of the university could leave their wishes for the faculty on a poster in the hall of the building, change cigarettes for sweets to support the fashion for a healthy lifestyle, and also share their warm hugs, because the movement FREE Hugs not only improves the mood, but also unites the team.
On May 17, the "Day of Photo" took place, where everyone could take a picture with the hashtag #bombic_KEF_week and take part in the competition for the main prize. On May 22, after summing up the results, the winners were identified, among which: 1st place was taken by the teacher of Systems Analysis and Modeling Zvyagin L.S., 2nd place - student of KEF 1-5 Zaitseva Anastasia, and 3rd place - Zelentsova Alena, student of KEF 1- one. Each of them received a prize and fond memories of the project.
On May 18, as part of the "KEF Week", the "Auditornik" was held, where all those who like to sing songs with a guitar, play board games, communicate with people and taste teas gathered. The guys played in the Imaginarium,
Aliase
, smashed Jenga and, of course, sang songs with a guitar. No one remained indifferent, many suggested spending such evenings within the walls of the university more often.
On May 19, "Tea with the Dean" took place, which was attended by 1-3 year students, the dean of the KEF Bezsmertnaya E.R., as well as Ryabinina E.V. and Gagarina M.A. All those who came were able not only to enjoy different delicacies, but also to ask exciting questions to the administration. The meeting was held in a warm, friendly atmosphere and left pleasant memories not only among students, but also among the staff of the Financial University.
