  2. Your project should include:
  3. A short proposal (around 500 words)is due March 28 as Writing 3. The proposal should include:
  4. The literature review part for the project is due April 18 as Writing 4.
  5. The final project report is due May 2 by 11:55PM.
    The report should be 10-12 pages long, and written using Latex. It should include:
  6. Each student is expected to spend approximatively 50 hours on the project, including the initial research, programming and evaluation, and writings. The scope of the project should reflect this level of effort. For students who want to use this for Plan C, it will count as one part of the project.
  7. You do not need to include the source code of the program(s) you wrote/used. The project will be evaluated on the report, so please make sure you say in the report if you used publicly available code or wrote your own and give an idea of the complexity of the code.
