Course Project
Each student is required to finish a course project by the end of the semester. The course project counts 60% of your total grade. The grading of your project consists of two components:
- The project proposal (i.e., no more than 6 pages, the references are not included) and the proposal presentation count 20% of your total grade;
- The project deliverables (incl. code, project paper (i.e., no more than 10 pages, the references are not included)) and the final project presentation count 40% of your total grade.
