Graduate students enrolled in CS 421, Summer 2007 for 4 credit hours are
required to do a project related to the class material to earn their 4th
hour of credit. Project proposals will be posted to this website once
they are received. All completed projects should be submitted as static
websites (i.e., HTML + data files), including all code (under an open
source license) and documentation. Theoretical projects obviously don't
have to have code, but rather should be written up as a paper in HTML or
LaTeX, and include all relevant proofs; for LaTeX, both the source and
final PDF should be provided.
| Team size: | up to 3 people. Feel free to solicit partners via
the newsgroup. A group of 3 people should do a project which is
approximately 3x as much work as an individual project. |
|---|
| Project proposal due: | Thursday, June 14th, or earlier. |
|---|
| Progress reports: | 1/2 page per project, every 2 weeks. Plain text via e-mail is preferred. |
|---|
| Final project due: | Monday, July 30, or earlier. |
|---|
| Project grading policy: | pass/fail |
|---|
If you pass the project (and if you work on it consistently, give
status updates, and provide final deliverables on time, you almost
certainly will), you will receive the same grade as for the regular part
of the class, but applied to 4 hours rather than 3. If you fail the
project, you will receive the grade form the regular part of the class
on 3 hours, and a grade of 0% on the remaining 4th hour (meaning your
final grade for the class will be 75% of your grade on the regular part
of the class).
