General Requirements
 
Projects will be completed by groups of two or three students. Groups of one are not permitted. Each group will submit one copy of the project report. Although a list of potential projects is provided, you may create a project of your own instead. The projects below are mostly based on material from the book. Alternate projects may be computational, theoretical, or experimental, but are subject to approval by Dr. Pogo.
 
You may choose your own groups before Thursday, March 9, 2023.
  If fail to choose a team on your own by this date, you will be assigned teammates at random.
 
Your group must choose a project by Thursday, March 30, 2023.
   Your project choice, even if it is from the list linked above, requires approval from Dr. Pogo.
   By this date, it is already too late to start a conversation with Dr. Pogo about topics or options.
   If you fail to choose an approved project by this date, your team will be assigned one at random.
Projects are due on Thursday, May 18, 2023. Hardcopies are required. Accompanying electronic work may be submitted to my inbox.

 

 Project Grading
 
50% of your project grade will be determined by “correctness”.
25% of your project grade will be determined by “professionalism”. This includes fonts, plot sizes, plot formatting, page numbering, how you order/sequence your report, and a thousand other things.
25% of your project grade will be determined by clarity of your methods. This includes listing your assumptions, what methods you chose and why, showing example calculations, choosing the best possible plots to summarize results, and a hundred other things. Don’t make me guess at what you did!

 

Also, projects that are listed as having lower difficulty will be graded more stringently.
