a project counting 70%.
Here is the project presentation schedule:
16 November: Nguyen
18 November: Jain, Lusnikov
23 November: Johnson, Kurdoglu
30 November: Farley, Van Milligan
2 December: Antwiler, Murthy
The main features are:
- the topic is different for each individual, and is chosen by the
student. Particular project topics should be discussed with me to ensure
that they are reasonable. A
list of possible topics
is available here.
I will be updating this over the next while.
Do NOT feel constrained to choose from this list -- the projects there are
simply meant to illustrate the kinds of projects you might choose.
- You may choose a project which is a literature review, an
implementation and experimentation, or theoretical research (i.e., you
may focus your activities on reading, coding, or thinking -- but, of course,
you must do all three to some degree!)
- Plan on making an in-class presentation (duration: 25 minutes plus 12.5 minutes questions) to the class.
- Due date is at the final exam time for the course.
Your work on the project should
be going on in parallel with your work on assignments. Start on the project
early!
- Feel free to consult anyone, especially me, about the project as you
work on it.
- The most important thing that I want to see in the projects is a
creative and innovative approach that clearly demonstrates a deep understanding
of some topic relevant to the course. In general, depth is preferred to
breadth, and your ideas are preferred to someone else's.
