CSCI 490
Senior Project: Directed Programming

To sign up for Directed Programming with me, come see me to discuss what you propose to do for your 490 project.

Your project for CSCI 490 must be a programming project - you must write some code as part of the project.

Due dates

Some ideas are:

It is best if you think of something that you want to do. Let this be an opportunity for you to pursue your interests.

You are required to turn in a written report on your project (which includes documentation). Use proper English grammar and spelling, and format the report to enhance readability. I can read most types of documents (HTML, Word, Acrobat, Postscript). The report should cover:

In the final couple weeks of the semester you need to give a demo of your project. If you did some of the work as part of an internship, include a copy of your performance evaluation with your report.

Due Dates

The project should be complete and the document written three weeks prior to the end of the semester. You can submit it to me at that time (or earlier for additional recommendations and advice). This way, it can be edited and reviewed by Finals week. During Finals week you should schedule a time during which you can show me a demo of your project.

If I do not receive anything from you by the third week prior to Finals week, I cannot guarantee that your project will be satisfactory and hence you could have problems with graduating in that semester.
