Groups of 2-4 student collaborate; the preferable group size is 3; no groups 5 or larger!
Create a website (a set of webpages) that summarizes your findings and present your project results in a presentation on Tu., April 29, 2007, 2:30-4:30p (likely there will be no class on April 24). Groups of 2 give an 8 minute presentation, groups of 3 give an 11-minute presentation, groups of 4 give a 14-minute presentation.
The webpage can be a summary, a tutorial, an annotated directory refering to other web-pages, a hyperlinked Powerpoint presentation, a set of animations of algorithms at work,…
My preference is that you create some small amount of material of high quality rather than creating a lot of material of low or medium quality.
The tentative weights for the 3 projects are as follow: P1:1, P2:1. P3:0.45; these are subject to change
