Deliverables:

• A written report containing the theoretical background, methods employed, practical application results, plus a breakdown of each gang member's role. The report must be written in HTML and be available on the WWW. Projects will be archived for posterity. Length: equivalent of 10-15 pages. (70% of grade)
• A poster presentation on your project. (30% of grade)
• Grading will be based on the results of the work (that is, 'did it work?'), the degree of innovation, and the quality of the written report and poster presentation.

• 1 November: Set up gang (3-4 members); choose topic and gang name.
  Email Vinay with this info.
• Exam week: Written reports due; poster session.
