UIT2201: CS & the IT Revolution
Project (Spring 2007)
(Due: Thu, 12 April 2007, 11:59am)
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 4 possible topics for you to explore.
The project can be done by a team of 2 students (one group will have 3).
I expect each team to meet face-to-face at least three times to
work on the term paper. Some portion of the marks will be assigned
to the teamwork aspect of this project.
Team formation:
I have created the following teams:
{Wanqi,Kanchana}, {TianJian,RuHan}, {Karen,ChenYe},{Agyesh,Nagoor}
{Murali,ZhaoXuan},{Tanya,Sandra,GuanZheng}.
First Task: Form group and Choose your Topic
Each team should first choose a topic for your term paper.
Then, write a short "one paragraph statement" on
your topic and what you wish to write about that topic.
This is to be due by Thur (15-March) -- submit to
IVLE Workbin (Project Proposal Report folder).
The Term Paper: (Due: 12-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 12-15 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.
But, 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 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 (Final Proj Report folder).
