CSE 262 Class Projects (Spring 2007)
The class project will count toward 60% of your grade.
A project may be done individually or in teams of two, and you should
allow about 6 or 7 weeks to complete it.
Your project grade will be based on your
successful completion of the following 3 parts:
-
Project proposal: due Thursday, April 26, 2007 (electronic, 1/10 of the project grade)
- Progress reports: weekly project reports are
due each Friday by 5pm (electronic, 1/10 of the project grade).
You’ll be asked to make brief presentations (5-10 minutes) in class introducing
the project, and charting progress.
- Project presentations: Last week of class,
Tuesday and Thursday June 5 and 7, 2007)
Bring hard copies of your slides to class.
(2/10 of your project grade)
- Project Report: due Friday, June 8, 2007, 5PM, in EBU3B 3244 (Hard copy and electronic)

A list of projects appears below.
If you have your own project in mind, discuss it with me first.
Your project proposal
should identify the investigator(s) and the title of the
project. You should present a preliminary list of milestones –with
completion dates – and
possible options depending on your progress. Your milestones are not
binding, so be realistic. You may need to fine-tune your
goals as the project is underway. This is fine so long as you document
your decisions. If you are working in a team, describe the division of
labor in your proposal.
If you are proposing your own
project, include a description of the project that is roughly one
double spaced page long. I will give you feedback once I've read over
you proposal.
All of your proposals should address the following issues:
- The goals
of your project. Be sure to address why you think that the goals are
realistic. (This is why I've asked you to provide milestones.)
- The result(s) you want to demonstrate.
- The significance of the results.

The progress reports will help keep you on a steady pace and enable
you to make mid-course corrections. Each report should
- discuss your progress to date. If you are working
in a team, discuss
the division of labor and other aspects of how you worked
together as a team team (This need not be as formal as the
Team evaluation that you will submit in your final project at
html)
- revise any milestones and completion dates that you established previously, including an
explanation.
In evaluating your proposal and progress report I will check to see if your goals are
realistic. A realistic project that is completed successfully will likely receive a higher
grade than one that is too ambitious and doesn't get finished. Results alone are
not adequate. You need to interpret them. If you have any questions about this,
be sure and see me. If you do have an ambitious design, we can work together to
set realistic goals. The project should be a polished piece of work.
Project Presentation and
Report
During the last week of class, you’ll give
a 25 minute presentation. Your project report is due at the end of the week.
The presentation and report should be polished pieces of work.
Submit hard copy as well as an electronic version, e.g., html with ASCII
and other attachments. Here is a
discussion about what I am expecting
in the your presentation and report, along with instructions for submitting electronic
copy.
Projects
Here is a tentative list of projects, but if you have a project
of your own that you'd like to work on, let me know.
Most of these can be formulated
as one or two investigator projects.
This list will grow over time, so please check accordingly.
References will be provided as background for the above projects.
