Project Guidelines

The purpose of the project is to allow you to analyze an idea related to the class in some depth. We hope you will design a project that enables you to make measurements, model or perform computational experiments that explore the idea.

The purpose of the wiki page write-up is to have you share your explorations with others. The target audience is a student who will be taking the class next year. But when preparing this material, please remember that over the years many people read these course project pages.

• Please visit MediaWiki's editing help page.

Organization

Your project write-up should be organized into sections like a research paper. The write-up should include experimental data, analyses and conclusions.

Organization of the presentation is important. You may decide to organize your presentation into one long page with sections, or you may decide to have the overview be a page with links to the separate sections.

Use a single page format

We propose that you use naming convention for the wiki sections as

* Project Title - Introduces idea
* Background - What is known
* Methods - What you did
* Results - What you found
* Conclusions - What it means
* References - Resources and related work
* Appendix I - Code and Data
* Appendix II - Work partition (if a group project)

Implementation

To create your project on the wiki, go to the section below for your course. For example, for Psych 204, 2009 go here. Follow the link to see other projects or a project template, and for instructions on setting up your page.
