Project Guide

The document provides instructions for writing project reports. It states that reports should be in the form of an executive summary to be given to a manager or research advisor. The report should succinctly focus on what was done for the project without copying much text. To earn an A grade, the report must include: the equations solved or simulated, the numerical method used, the code listing, edited results like graphs or tables, and a critical analysis of what was learned and how the project could be improved. Credit will not be given for just running provided code; the code must be modified or extended as part of understanding the problem.

General Instructions for Project Reports

For each project, you should hand in a report in the form of an


“executive summary''. Imagine this to be the document you would
give to your manager, if you were in an industrial setting, or to your
research advisor if you were working on a project. Make your report
succinct and focused on what you did. Don't bother copying much
from the text (I wrote it), but do try to express the point of the work
using your own words.
To save you time in the long run, do it right. Before you begin
working on your assignment or running code, write down (and save
this as part of your report):
1. the equations you are to solve or simulate (the math)
2. the numerical method being used (the algorithm)
3. the code listing (the actual code that you ran)
For an A grade, answer all parts of the assigned problem, including these
5 items:
1. the equations you are to solve or simulate 
2. the numerical method being used
3. the code listing
4. edited results (just the edited good stuff): graphs, short tables, or
something visual
5. critical analysis: what did you learn, are you convinced, how could
we do this better.
No credit will be given for just running a code we give you; you should
be modifying, extending, applying, or rewriting it as part of
understanding the problem. You may discuss your projects with other
people, but the report you submit must reflect your own work. If you
submit it, you have agreed that you are prepared to explain it to the
instructor on request.
