Project for UIT2201

For this semester, the project takes the form of a term paper on a topic in CS/IT of current interest. I have provided a list of possible topics for you to explore.

First Task: Plan your Term Paper

Your task is to choose a topic and then within the topic choose one or two theme on which to develop the term paper. You should write a short quick "one paragraph statement" on your chosen topic and the theme you wish to develop within that topic. This is to be due by Thursday (16-March).

Your Choices are out: look here.

The Term Paper: (Due: 11-April 11:59am)

You should use the web, the library and other sources to make a careful study of your topic and organize your material. Write a report of about 20-25 pages (fontsize 12, 1.5 spacing) on your selected topic.

IMPORTANT:

While the report should contain facts, dates, and figures that can be obtained from the web-sites, books, or related sources, you should NOT copy pages (wholesale) from the sources. Doing so will be considered plagiarism and incurs severe punishment.
For more on plagarism, please consult the NUS plagiarism website.
It is also important that in your report, you should also include some of your own views and comments and not just regurgitate the reports/comments of others.
Be sure to accurately cite the sources of your material in the "List of References" at the back of your report.

You should submit the report in both (a) hardcopy to my office AND (b) softcopy via submission to IVLE Workbin (Proj Report folder).
