How to Create an Application Project for Undergraduate Students
Student projects: what are they for?
Project activities for students were introduced into HSE undergraduate programs in 2014. This practice has two goals: to give students the opportunity to try themselves in real work in their chosen specialty and gain experience in applying the acquired knowledge, skills and abilities in practice.
You can create such a project if you have a task or task that students can complete. Thus, when executing a project:
The customer organizes a workflow or solves a specific problem in an organization/department;
Students consolidate the acquired material in the process of working on the project.
The concept of the project has been formed, there is an interested person in it Customer
Applying for a project for Project Fair an employee of the National Research University Higher School of Economics
students are signed up for the project, students are selected
The general system for organizing work on a project at the Higher School of Economics is as follows:
Summing up the project, assessment of student work
Project work
The main feature of the project is the inclusion of students in the work on practical tasks that require students to use the knowledge gained in the learning process, discipline and responsibility. Such tasks can be set for students both by HSE departments and external customers. It is important that the project manager be an employee of the National Research University Higher School of Economics.
What kind of projects can students take on?
You can involve students in a project if the goal of the project 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 - holding 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, which implies the receipt of some scientific or applied scientific product as a result, for example, an article / publication, report, analytical review or note, an 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 task, such as the development and justification of a design solution, the creation of a business plan or a business case, especially for an external customer, the project refers to applied;
a project involving the participation of students in the organization of an event or in the implementation organizational processes(organization feedback teacher and students, technical training teaching materials, organizational assistance in the process of conducting classes, etc.) - service project.
How to prepare such a project?
When preparing a project proposal, you will need to answer the following questions:
What will the project be called?
Who will lead the project?
Which department is the customer of the project?
When should the project be completed?
How many credits can be assigned per project?
Example: A project lasts 10 weeks and each student involved spends 5 hours per 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 which way to round the clock. If there are few vacancies and the work is complex, it is recommended to round up hours (i.e., for example, 35 hours can be rounded up to 50 and assign a workload of 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 don't know how many students you need, this number can be obtained based on the project's due date and the total number of hours required to complete the project (or hours per project per week).
Students have both classroom and extracurricular activities, and usually a student can allocate from 1 to 6 hours per week for a project (up to 15 hours for especially urgent projects). This will allow you to determine the number of students you need.
Example: if the project requires 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: The project takes a total of 200 hours to complete, with a project timeline of 10 weeks. It turns out that on average per week you need to spend 20 hours on the 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?
Students of what educational programs (and what courses) do you invite to participate?
Example: students of the EP "Oriental Studies", " International relationships" and "Political Science", courses 3 to 4.
What other requirements should be for potential project participants?
Where will meetings with project participants and students work (if not remotely) take place?
What keywords characterize the project?
What else is required to be specified in the application for the project?
If at the previous stage all information about the organizational side of the project was collected, then at this stage it is required to describe its content.
The project description should include:
General description of the goals and objectives of the project;
Information about the external customer (if any);
Types of activities performed by the student in the project / skills being developed
The planned result of the work on the project;
Criteria for evaluating the final result;
Criteria for assessing the individual contribution of students to the work.
Also one of the key points design 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 evaluated according to external criteria, for example, the acceptance of an article for publication, the coincidence of predictions with reality, changes in observed characteristics, etc. at the same time, the most effective and recommended way to evaluate the results of a project is to public defense before the customer. For a service project, this item is optional.
Evaluation of students' contribution to the work may depend entirely on the evaluation of the project result, or it may be differentiated, in which the number of credits is awarded depending on the student's fulfillment of his project tasks, meeting deadlines, etc.
All items on the page for adding a project are mandatory. The "Project Description" block should contain basic information about the content of the work on the project (no more than 500 characters). A detailed description of the project is best attached as a separate file (available in the same block).
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 Instruction, the project will be published at the Fair and available to students.
For potential customers:
If you are interested in implementing a project with HSE students, but you are not an HSE employee and do not have professional contacts with HSE professors who could act as project leaders, take advantage of the following opportunities:
email us about your idea at [email protected];
contact the contacts on the portal www.hse.ru with the heads of that educational program or department whose students are suitable for the purpose of the project.

November 16 in the building of the Financial University, located at st. Kibalchicha, d. 1, a charity fair was held, called the fair with
wall
street
, main task which was to raise money for the Sheredar Foundation, which helps children with oncology.
At fairs It was presented 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 products prepared by our students also received shares in manufacturing companies. The idea was that the fair was a kind of exchange platform, with unique securities of certain manufacturers, which gave students the opportunity to try themselves as a trader on an imaginary exchange. We believe that we managed to get people interested, immerse them in the atmosphere of trading and give them the 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 for the implementation of their rehabilitation programs, and we also managed to successfully play a business game. Next year, we will certainly 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 objectives of the project were: to diversify and embellish the student routine, to allow the children to open their feelings and show them publicly, to give many people the 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: business card which allows other students to get to know the couple; an interview in which the couple reveals their secrets and provides an opportunity to check how well the lovers know each other; and a test in which the couple is invited to test their feelings for strength and find out what they are ready for for each other.
We believe that we have succeeded in attracting the attention of the majority of students through the intrigue of the competition. Almost 600 people took part in the final voting, which indicates the interest of students in this project. In the future, you can promote this project and make it larger, we hope for the participation of more couples, since many this time wanted to "just watch", because the project was held for the first time. Next time these guys will be able to try themselves as participants.

On March 4, a project was carried out by the Student Council of the Faculty of Credit and Economics of the Financial University called "Qvest 221B".
The project went well: there were more participants 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 imbued with a subtle English atmosphere. It was possible to convey this through the images of the organizers and riddles that even Sherlock could not cope with. Everything was thought out to the smallest detail: the appearance of the trackers, 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 idle or get bored. And of course, it’s worth mentioning the cool prizes: 1000 minutes in the anti-cafe, tickets to the Artplay exhibition and 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 student council of KEF considers this project one of the best of its own projects and hopes for its annual implementation.
Time is rapidly moving forward... The Great Patriotic War has become history. New generations of people have grown up who have never heard gun thunder and bomb explosions. Overgrown with grass trenches and trenches. On a land scorched by war, life triumphs.
But the war does not let you forget about yourself. She is in the eyes of a veteran, in front-line postcards and letters ...
Students of the Faculty of Credit and Economics joined the action "Letter to a Veteran". With the help of these letters, the guys were able to convey to the participants great war a piece of your warmth and attention. These are veterans of the Great Patriotic War, and home front workers, and the children of Leningrad - everyone whom the War touched with its fiery breath.
The action took place on April 24th. Students of our faculty wrote letters with trepidation: some just to veterans, and some to their great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers. The guys are proud of their country, its great feat! The feat of all the people who survived the horror of 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.

Creative experiment "Nautilus Labyrinth"- this is an attempt to combine the dramaturgy of Marina Tsvetaeva and the lyrics of the songs of the Nautilus Pompilius group on one stage.
The story is based on the myth of Theseus and Ariadne, which once struck 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.

Designing is an obligatory part of vocational training. Educational and technical projects are well known as its products. In the experience of the work of colleges, as well as universities, project activities are used in different directions. On the one hand, traditionally (especially in technical educational institutions) diploma design is a teaching and at the same time a controlling form of organization of specialist training. The creation of a final qualifying work or a graduation project acts as a resulting act, indicating the student's ability to independently create and publicly present a professional product. On the other hand, design is increasingly being used as special kind pedagogical activity, including for solving problems aimed at achieving a specific strategic result - providing consumers with additional educational services of a quality product, which is the goal of a process-oriented approach.
This approach will ensure constant management of the relationship between individual processes and subsystems. The application of this approach emphasizes the need to consider the process in terms of added value, obtaining results of its implementation and efficiency, its continuous improvement based on objective measurement.
Socio-pedagogical design is understood as the ability to transform social processes, phenomena, conditions with the help of pedagogical means. Each socio-pedagogical project has its own public mission (purpose). It is born on the basis of social forecasting and foresight, focused on changing the surrounding social environment (social conditions) and requiring self-determination of the project participants regarding the quality of this environment. The specific context of the socio-pedagogical project is formed by the relations of social partnership. The pedagogical potential of this type of projects is aimed at the socialization of its participants, their conscious adaptation to existing conditions; on the formation of the ability to interact productively with the surrounding social space, improving it to the best of one's ability and thereby solving one's problems.
Design is today in the arsenal of innovative pedagogical tools and methods. The ability to organize students' project activities is an indicator of the teacher's high qualification. Real work over the project, and most importantly, a reflective assessment of the planned and achieved results helps students to realize that knowledge is not so much an end in itself, but rather necessary remedy which ensures the ability of a person to competently build his mental and life strategies, make decisions, adapt in society and fulfill himself as a person. It was these ideas that were supported by teachers and students of the regional secondary schools at the competition of social projects held in our educational institution.
It should be noted that the work in this direction by the teaching staff was started from the moment the experimental laboratory of productive education was organized on the basis of the Pedagogical College in 2002 in collaboration with scientists from the Institute of Preschool Education of the Russian Academy of Education and the Pedagogical Institute of the SSU. N.G. Chernyshevsky. Since 2004, the college has adapted to practice a scientifically based system of teaching students of project activities (author Mitrofanova E.A.).
The first student mega project (“Good Deeds”) in 2005 was presented at the 17th Congress of the International Network of Productive Schools (INEPS) “Productive Learning and Democratization of the School” (Moscow), following which the Volsky Pedagogical College was admitted to the International network of productive schools. For five years, students have been actively presenting their projects at various conferences at the Russian and international level. In 2006, they took two second places (out of 150 submitted projects at the international conference “From School Project to Professional Career” (Saratov), more than 50 articles were presented in the “Productive Education Almanac” (Moscow) and other collections teachers and students dedicated to project activities. All this was the basis for the organization of the regional competition. student projects on the basis of the college, which runs for three years (2006 - 2009). During this time, students of secondary vocational education from institutions of the region, such as the Saratov Regional Basic Medical College, the Volsk Medical School named after V.I. ZI Mareseva, Saratov State Vocational Pedagogical College. A.A. Gagarin, Saratov Agricultural College, Saratov Regional Social and Pedagogical College, Volsk Musical College, Saratov College of Culinary Arts, Volsk Pedagogical College, etc.
At the competition, projects are presented in which the guys are participants in real cases, important events. Projects: “I choose life”, “Let's save for centuries”, “Live the spring”, “The first abortion - we are against”, “We are 20 years old” and many others showed how important the problems that the students had to discuss were just by their name.
To participate in the competition, students and their leaders were divided into 4 sections: "Traditions and innovation in the culture of the XXI century", "I choose life", "To understand and help", "The world around us".
The social mission of many projects was to attract the attention of as many people as possible to existing problems. These were the projects “The first abortion - we are against” (Volsk Medical School named after Z.I. Mareseva), “Clean Air for the City” (Volsk Pedagogical College) who took 1st place; the project “Mass sports and sports movement and a healthy lifestyle” (Saratov College of Railway Transport), which took 2nd place; project “I choose life” (Saratov Regional Basic Medical College), which took 3rd place and others.
The following projects were aimed at enhancing the creative, socially significant activities of adults and adolescents, cultivating a responsible attitude towards oneself and others, forming socially positive motivation in adolescents and including them in socially significant activities. These are projects - “Let's save for centuries”, which won 1st place (Volsky Pedagogical College); “There is such a mansion on Moskovskaya Street” - 2nd place (Saratov College of Culinary Arts); “Through Worlds and Ages” (Saratov State Vocational Pedagogical College named after A.A. Gagarin), “Formula of Success” (Volsk Musical College), “Nobody is Forgotten, Nothing is Forgotten” (Volsk Pedagogical College), which took 3rd place .
Social and pedagogical projects are designed, on the one hand, for a wide public outcry, on the other hand, participation in them becomes an unforgettable event in life for students, gives them an impetus to master new types of social and pedagogical activity.
So, the main advantages of this activity are that it is aimed at the final result and allows you to quickly respond to changes, aim all participants in the project activity at the result of the processes (product). Thus, a process-oriented approach allows you to organize activities in such a way that it is flexible, aimed at constantly improving the quality of the final product.
