7. Course Information Requirements: Presentations : Each student will be asked to select and present an interesting topic. The presentation should be 30-45 minutes long. Discussion : Students will be required to read the assigned chapter before each class and actively participate in discussions in class. Term project : Your project can be about extending a technique we studied in class, or empirically analyzing it. Comparisons between two approaches are also welcome.

8. Term Project Possible project topics will be provided as links, students are encouraged to propose their own Teams of 1-2 students can be created Each team needs to give two presentations: a proposal presentation (10-15min); a final presentation in the last week (15-20min) Each team needs to submit a project report Definition of the problem Approaches used to solve the problem Computational results Conclusion (success or failure)
