CPSC 441, Fall 2002
Final Project



AS YOU KNOW, the final project for this course is due at the scheduled final exam period: Thursday, December 19, at 1:30 PM. This project counts for 20% of your final grade, which is the same percentage as each of the two tests. The project should be a substantial effort, and you should start working on it as soon as possible.

There are three types of final project:

You can find some suggestions for each type of project in the handout for this course. (It's on line at http://math.hws.edu/eck/courses/cpsc441_f02.html, if you've lost it.)

The final project is an individual, not a group, assignment. You are responsible for choosing your own topic, in consultation with me. On the last class before Thanksgiving break, November 25, you should turn in a short written statement of your topic. I suggest that you meet with me to discuss your ideas one or more times before then. On Friday, December 6, you should turn in a more detailed outline of the project. This outline will be graded for 10 homework points. This outline should include:

The project itself must be turned in promptly at 1:30 on Thursday, December 19 (or earlier).
