Grading Policy
The largest contribution to your grade will be
a 10-week course project. This includes selecting a topic,
submitting a proposal, doing the actual work, writing a research
paper, presenting the results, and creating a video based on the
project. The project topic may be either a design of an original
solution and implementation of a new research idea, or detailed
evaluation and categorization of recent research publications.
