Last notes on project grading:

As the syllabus mentions, a successful project should be of the order of a conference paper. In particular, the following four aspects of a paper were considered in project grading:

• Project has a clear goal
• Goal has a clear value if achieved
• There are novel ideas involved in achieving the goal
• These ideas work

All "YES" means an "A". Exceptional performance on these dimensions is an "A+". Deficiencies in one or more dimensions is an "A-" or lower, depending on their severity. If you would like to get detailed written feedback on your project report please let me know and I will give you a marked hard copy. If you disagree with my assessment of any of the above regarding your project, please see me. I would be happy to discuss the final project grade with you and fix it if appropriate.
