The writeups and oral presentations account for 25% of the grade. This page gives information about the writeups.
In the writeups you will assume the role of a CTO. Each writeup should be written as a "memo to CEO" about a particular topic. The word count is 500 words and students are encouraged to use a word counter. You can also use this python script to test submissions (*.txt files) for appropriate word count (chmod 755 counter.py and then ./counter.py <input_file>). Submissions exceeding the word count will be automatically rejected by our scripts. We expect concise, thoughtful, and creative submissions. These writeups should ideally build towards the papers and should help you in writing the papers later on. For the papers, students are expected to work in groups of two. Most writeups will be individual, but some will be in groups.
- All writeups are due at 1100am EST on Mondays i.e., before class every week, unless instructed otherwise. No late submissions are allowed.
Writeups will be graded on four metrics:
- Crisp writing (to the point, corporate executive summary style writing is encouraged; don't caveat too much or try to be polite or complete)
- Creativity (thinking out of the box, coming up with interesting, original solutions and ideas and non-textbook points of view)
- Domain knowledge (demonstrating deep understanding of technical and non-technical issues; researching on the Web to acquire knowledge is strongly encouraged)
- Language (good writing in general)
Writeups should be submitted as plain TXT files using the appropriate links below:
