Requirements of the project: ⋆ The main content of the project must be related to this course but must be new materials that are not taught in the class. The project contains a written part and an oral presentation part. ⋆ You can choose your own topic or you will be given one. You should hand in your project title by the 7th week of the semester. Please discuss your project with the teacher to confirm that it is suitable. ⋆ You can team up to write the project with maximally 3 persons in one team. The written part should be at least 4500 words if there are three members in the team; otherwise, the minimum is 3000 words. Please typeset your writting using A4 or letter sized paper with regular sized font. The written part should be of a scientific style, usually containing introduction or background materials, main sections (which might include different subsections), and a conclusion or discussion part. References should also be included. ⋆ You need to hand in at least 2 pages of your writing (either first 2 pages or an outline of your entire project) by the 10th week of the classes. The full written project should be handed in electronically through email before the final exam date. ⋆ Your oral presentation is arranged the second day after the final exam. The presentation time for each team will be less than 20 minutes, including 5 minute Q&A. You can use either a projector (provided) or the blackboard to give your oral presentation. It should be given in a clear and well organized way.
