Group Projects 2007/8
The following are the specifications for the projects for 2007/8.
It is expected that there will be up to 4 students who choose or are assigned to each project. Those of you who are doing both CF901 and CF902 must do a group project in each area. The project is worth 50% of the final total assessment for each module, whether you are doing the single or double module variant.
Note: 1st year PhD students must chose a project that is closest to their areas of research interest.
You will be closely supervised by named supervisors attached to each project. It is envisaged that all projects receive the same amount of input in contact hours by the supervisors. No more than 5 one hour meetings with supervisors should take place. On the 22 November 2007 the projects are explained and project groups are formed which have to be confirmed on the 3rd of December.
In the first week of December, at the 1st meeting the supervisors will guide you to the relevant literature review, data sets and modelling strategy. The teams should work out a division of labour so that over Xmas some work on the literature review and the first stab at modelling can be done.
At the 2nd meeting which takes place in the first week of Spring term (w/c 14 January 2008), it is expected that the project teams will have produced a 3 or 4 page literature survey and some preliminary results.
The 3rd meeting, at the beginning of February, should have more analysis covered with the programming necessary in full swing.
At the 4th meeting, the first full draft is ready by the end of February.
At 5th meeting, the final touches are being made for project presentations. The final dates for the presentations are to be confirmed but will be during the w/c 10 March 2008.
Final Submission date of Project is the 25 March 2008
