Rubrics provides standardization in evaluation by specifying guidelines to assign marks according to predetermined evaluation criteria. Rubrics-based evaluation for final year project in computer science has typically focused on the proposal writing, seminar, prototype development, logbook maintenance and dissertation writing. However, the evaluation has often overlooked the innovativeness of the project nor entrepreneurship skills of the candidates. This paper addresses the gap of current implementation of final year project implementation and introduce a framework of innovation-enhanced rubrics-based evaluation for final year project. The new assessment framework emphasizes the entrepreneurship and innovation skills which are realized cognitive, affective, psychomotor, soft skill as well as life-long learning characteristics in the course implementation. The new framework has resulted to candidates who have acquired a more holistics attributes of excellent fresh graduates which are important and highly looked by the employers.

Lots of reasons lead to rise and fall Startup. A critical success factor can be the leadership styles of entrepreneurs. However, as the business and the workforce grow the founders need to be aware of a growing responsibility towards their employees. They might lose sight of leading their employees in the most beneficial way. This article shows scientific theories about entrepreneurial leadership and tries to build a link to Startups. Several propositions are derived from related theories and will serve as a basis for the research. The theoretical framework will be enlarged by a comparative study between Startups and mature firms. Findings provide evidence for the application of entrepreneurial leadership across industries and firm sizes. Though, several findings indicate a similarity between the two types of businesses, a few noticeable differences have been identified during the analysis of the interviews. Both types of firms pursue a democratic, goal oriented and transformational leadership style. Nevertheless, Startups do not draw a clear line between leading entrepreneurially and not leading to ad hoc decisions.

Through this, students have an opportunity to work on critical skills such as communication and articulation, writing and reflection and evaluation of their closely held beliefs of entrepreneurship. The exercise is a more robust alternative to guest speakers and gives the instructor a method of both reinforcing topics covered during the course of the class as well as exploring avenues of student interest during the post-interview/write-up class discussion.

Abstract: High-tech entrepreneurship education is the challenge of connecting practical university teaching with well-known concepts of life long learning in companies. New kinds of communities of practice emerge from these efforts. We present experiences made with a course in applied computer science, which was based on this concept. In our “Entrepreneurship and New Media” lab project teams of students worked with two start-up companies. The student teams were connected to each other and to their supervisors in ...
