This set of notes should be read in conjunction with the study guide.  It provides further guidance for the preparation of the project plan and oral presentation.

 

 

Project Plan

 

The project plan is a 2,000-word document (excluding bibliography) that should include:

 

You should make sure that the document is well written and organised.  The purpose of restricting it to 2,000 words is to encourage you to be clear and direct.  Use just the right amount of technical jargon: enough to show that you aware of the terminology used in the area, but not so much that makes the document unreadable by non-experts.

 

Finally, there should be clear elements of originality, not in the sense of a radically new solution, but of identifiable contributions that result from your own understanding of the problem.  The degree of autonomy and personal effort put into the proposal will be taken into account when assessing your plan.

 

 

Oral Presentation

 

You are required to make a 10-minute presentation of your project plan.  Some useful advice:

 

 

 

The presentations will take place on the 25th of April.  Time and place will be announced on the web page of the module before April 22. The project plan should be handed-in to the office (F22) no later than 10:00, April 25. This deadline is strict: no extension will be granted for whatever reason.
