Progress Report "Don't leave all the writing until the end. Keep notes - especially for the Progress, Design, Implementation, Testing and Evaluation sections. Even if the notes are only in point form, it will be much easier to write the Progress Report."

Introduction Don't rewrite your introduction, perfect it. Has your supervisor requested that you radically change your introduction? Have you changed the scope and aims of your FYP? If not, you should not waste time rewriting your introduction. Instead, use the time to make sure your introduction is perfect. Proofread and check your verb tenses

Progress In this section, think of the investigative process that you have gone through; the trial and error. Did you think that Giddy's algorithm should work, but, in testing it, it didn't work? Why didn't it work? What did this [the fact that it didn't work] tell you? How did you apply this knowledge to the next algorithm you chose? This section is important as it shows your team's ability to think analytically and to problem-solve

Design Refine and formalize ideas and methods [For example: optic design, data structure design]. Implementation Describe in detail how you will implement your ideas and designs. Testing Provide a test plan Must be more detailed than in the Proposal. Think of how you will determine if it is efficient - how will you interpret the results? How can you tell whether your implementation is effective and efficient? Evaluation Find a comparable system. Find more data sets. If it is a multifaceted system, take out one component and compare.

Project Planning Update the Gantt Chart including everything that you have done and will do.

References Update, unless you didn't get it right the first time.
