Project is an essential part of the course. It is meant to be substantial. Originality and independent research work is expected. You can propose your own project. The details below are given as general guidelines and examples.

Requirements:

After choosing your project (read guidelines and suggested topics below), you must submit the following

1. Proposal (5%):

You need to write a proposal to introduce your project. In your proposal, you should include

the title of your project,
the type of your project,
the objectives of the project,
a brief introduction of your project with some literature review.
the reasons why you choose this topic.
the plan and timeline of how to proceed in the project.

🔶 Submit your proposal online here.

🔶 When submitting the form you will need to upload the pdf format of the proposal (1-3 pages).

Due end of ~~3rd week~~ 4th week

2. Progress Report (10%)

Fill in the progress report here. You should provide a concise summery of the objectives you have achieved at this point. You should mention any difficulties or challenges (if any) in executing your project plan. The suggested length of the report is (5-10 pages).

Due end of 7th week

4. Poster (10%)

A poster is a visual display that presents your research project and results. It is usually composed of several separate segments that are mounted on a board in a logical sequence. The poster should be self-explanatory. Interested persons should be able to view your poster and understand what you did, why you did it, and what you found. Presenters ought to be prepared to talk viewers through their poster, and to answer questions. See these examples or these for inspiration.

Space The maximum size of your (physical) poster should be 61 x 91 cm. However the electronic version can be on page of size A4. Text Posters should be easy to read and not crowded. Only essential information should be included. Text should be legible and in dark print. Because posters are visual displays, wherever possible, you should present information in figures, graphs, or tables. Illustrations should be integrated with the text rather than referenced with figure numbers as in papers Organization (this is just a suggestion; be creative)

Title: It should be assertive, clear, and eye catching. Abstract: A brief summary of your study may be included in your poster. Introduction: A succinct synopsis of the relevant theoretical background should be provided. Method: Describe subjects, design, tasks and procedures. Your variables should be clearly defined. Results: Graphs, figures, codes, and tables are ideal for presenting results. Text should be used sparingly. Short figure captions can be used to help the reader understand the data presented. Discussion and Conclusions: Provide a concise explanation of the significance of your results in the context of the theoretical background developed in the introduction. References: Include only essential references, as these break up the visual flow of the text, and take up valuable space on your poster. Headings: Main headings can be used to carry essential information and provide a "take home" message.

Due end of 14th week

4. Final Report (20%)

Try to keep the main body of your report under 15 pages. The report should include

Background introduction. (This part you can copy from your proposal.)
Literature review of others' work. (What have you surveyed?)
Summary on your work. (What have you done?)
Conclusion and future works.
List of references
Appendix to show your code.

Due end of 15th week
