Term project
Your term project will consist of two components: An in-class oral presentation or demo and a written summary. Each component is worth 20 points. I will ask you to submit a draft proposal early in the course and decide on the topic before Spring Break. As such, I expect you to be working 1-3 hours per week on the term project.
