Spring 2008
Each student in CSC 2/458 must either (1) read the most significant papers on a topic relevant to the course, lead a class period devoted to that topic, and write a survey paper, or (2) undertake a significant programming project relevant to the course, give a brief (~15 min.) presentation on the project, and turn in both the code and a report describing the results. Survey papers should be comparable to a good conference or journal paper in length and quality of content: 10–15 pages is a reasonable target for length, but this is only a guideline. With the consent of the instructor, students electing the project option can choose to work in teams.
By class time on Monday, March 3, send email to Prof. Scott describing your proposed project or presentation.
Choice of class periods for survey presentations will be negotiated during class. Briefer project presentations will occur during the last few class periods of the semester. Final project write-ups and reports will be due by 5pm Friday May 2.
