Python Programming Final Project
Instructor: Dr. Huthaifa Abuhammad
Objective
In this capstone project for Python programming, you will demonstrate your developing Python
skills through a practical, hands-on project. You are encouraged to explore a variety of domains,
provided that the project centrally involves Python programming.
The project should be more than a simple exercise; it should challenge and reflect your
current abilities and growth potential. We encourage you to think innovatively and select a
unique, engaging project that showcases your ability to apply Python meaningfully.
While you have the freedom to choose a project that interests you, ensure it aligns with
the learning goals of this course and is manageable within the academic term. If you propose
your own project, submit a brief description to the instructor for approval. This ensures your
project is suitable and feasible.
This capstone project is an opportunity to consolidate your Python programming skills and
display your creativity. We look forward to seeing innovative projects that go beyond the basics
and challenge the boundaries of your coding expertise.
Team Formation
Form teams of exactly three members and brainstorm to select a challenging and exciting
project. Once formed, submit your team name and all member names by 23 October 2025
via MS Teams.

Project Requirements
Your project must adhere to these requirements:
1. Python Usage: The core of your project must be Python-based. You may integrate
other technologies, but Python should remain the focal point.
2. Documentation: Provide thorough documentation, including explanations of key func-
tions, code comments, README files, and user guides (if applicable).
3. Code Quality: Write clean, efficient, and well-structured code following best practices
and coding standards.
4. Functionality: Your project should be fully functional and free of critical bugs.
1 Report Documentation
Report documentation provides a structured approach to writing, ensuring clarity, consistency,
and logical progression. A well-documented report follows a standard format, making it easier
to read, understand, and reference.
1.1 Title Page
Includes the report title, author(s), affiliation, and date. It provides essential details for iden-
tification and academic or professional recognition.
1.2 Abstract
A concise summary (150–250 words) outlining the objective, methodology, key results, and
conclusions. It allows readers to grasp the report’s essence quickly.
1.3 Table of Contents
Lists all sections and subsections with corresponding page numbers. It helps in navigating the
document efficiently.
1.4 Introduction
Presents background information, problem statement, objectives, and the report’s structure. It
sets the context for the reader.
