The purpose of the project is to allow you to analyze an idea related to the class in some depth. We hope that your project enables you to make measurements or perform computational experiments that explore an idea thoroughly.
The wiki page write-up helps you share your explorations with others, including the people who are assigning your grade. But the target audience is a student who will be taking the class next year. When preparing this material, please remember that over the years many people read these course project pages.

Organization
Your project write-up should be organized into sections like a research paper. The write-up should include clearly explain your experimental data, computational analyses and conclusions. It is also important that you cite the literature carefully because many people - including people whose work you describe - may well end up reading your page.
Use a single page format
For simplicity, we suggest you organize your write-up into one long page but with clearly labeled sections. If you know how to make more complex pages and you wish to show off, we always enjoy a good show.
We propose that you use naming convention for the sections as follows
* 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)
