| - | |||

| - | ======= Project Guides ======= | ||
| - | |||
| - | These guides are meant to help you produce good final year project reports. A good report is one that presents your project work concisely and effectively. It should contain various materials relevant to the work you have undertaken in respect of your project; it should be organised into a logical framework; and it should be supported by written material that follows well-established academic conventions in a consistent fashion. | ||
| - | |||
| - | An important point to remember is that the report should describe your work. Large chunks of bookwork describing standard material are unnecessary. You should simply refer to such material where necessary - assume that your reader is a competent computer or information systems theorist or practitioner. The guidelines here are arranged roughly in the order that you will need them. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Your project supervisor will guide you on what it is reasonable to expect a project in your chosen topic to deliver. However, all projects are required to justify all decisions made at every stage of research and the development of appropriate deliverables, | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Initial Plan: You must submit an initial plan, which is marked by your supervisor and moderator at the start of the semester (in week 1, at most 2,000 words, worth 5%). | ||
| - | |||
| - | * During your project there will be scheduled review meetings. | ||
| - | |||
| - | * A final report must be submitted at the end of the semester (at most 25,000 words, worth 95%) | ||
| - | |||
| - | * [[Project Viva]]: A project viva will take place after the exams for every final year project. | ||
