Background and Progress Report
The background report should describe the background research you have
completed in preparation for the work of the project,
due on the date given above.
You should summarise the essential material related to the
subject of the project.
There is no minimum or maximum page length,
but typical reports are between 10 and 20 pages long.
The material in this can be incorporated into the final report.
You should also include a separate section on progress that
describes: the activities and accomplishments of the project to date;
any problems or obstacles that might have cropped up and how they
are being dealt with;
and plans for the next phases of the project.
Finally, you should include a completed ethics checklist.
See Legal and Ethical Considerations
for details.

A completed ethics checklist.
A short appendix (100-300 words) on
ethical and professional considerations.
Prepare a hard copy of your project report for submission, as follows:
Print your report, double-sided, onto loose sheets
(do not staple, hole punch or bind in any way)
Print the hard-copy submission form generated for you
by CATE.
Take everything to Huxley Room 370 before the deadline.
There are also two files to submit

and archive.[tar.gz,tgz,zip] containing any code you have produced.
Do not submit third party library code in your archive.
Oral presentation and demonstration: Near the end of July you
will learn from your supervisor the name of the second marker for your
project. At the end of the project, you will need to give an oral
presentation and demonstration to your supervisor and second marker
(and anyone else who may be interested in the subject area). This
should be scheduled to occur before the submission date or, at the
latest, within one week after. The format of the oral presentation and
demonstration is to be decided with your supervisor.
Distinguished Projects: Each year we may recognise and
acknowledge some of the best individual projects.
