Final Project
General Instructions
1. A list of themes/subjects is given below. Choose one or more of these (you can combine
them if you choose) and prepare a detailed report as your final project for this class.
You may also come up with your own individual project theme not included in the list if
you so desire but it must be clearly related to this class and be approved in advance by the
instructor. The earlier you get such an approval the better.
2. You must use the general report guidelines that have been established. For the final
project, however, the length must be between 18 and 24 pages. This length will include
the standard title page required by the guidelines.
3. You should also include a separate brief cover letter clearly and concisely describing your
theme/subject, its relevance to the class, and why you personally have chosen it
specifically, i.e. what is its significance to you personally? Since some themes/subjects
may be fairly broad, you may find that you want to focus your attention on some specific
aspect within the theme/subject that you choose. In this case, you should make it clear in
the cover letter that you are doing this and why. You may also want to discuss your basic
approach to the theme/subject and your methodology in researching the theme/subject
and analyzing it. This cover letter is separate from the abstract and the title page required
by the guidelines.
4. You may use reasonable amounts of quoted material but do not forget to properly identify
and reference such material. Also be sure to properly reference all data that you use. As
always, be aware of the dangers of plagiarism and academic dishonesty and avoid them.
See the posted statements on these items for more clarification. You may use a
proofreader to assist with grammar and spelling issues but the content of your submission
must be your own and any proofreader must be clearly acknowledged and may not also
be in the class.
5. Avoid trying to expand your page count by manipulating the sizes of figures, tables,
equations, etc. These should always be kept reasonably compact and only large enough to
be properly visualized or to conform to the font specifications. Tables will thus generally
be single spaced even though the body of the text is to be double spaced.
6. Figure captions should be given below the figure while table captions should be given
above the table. Look at the textbook and how it handles figures and tables. All figures
and tables should be sequentially numbered, should be referenced in order in the text,
should be explained adequately in the right place in the text, and should include fully
descriptive captions composed of complete sentences. Captions should not simply narrate
the numbers in figures and tables that can be clearly seen. Instead, captions should
explain meanings, reasons, backgrounds, trends, problems, etc.
