CSci 487: Senior Project
Fall Semester 2002
Project Schedule

Class Meetings

The CSCI 487 class is scheduled to meet on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:00 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. All students in the class should keep these time periods free for the entire semester. If there exists a conflict between this class and any other class or University-sponsored activity, the student has the responsibility of informing the instructor in advance and working out any necessary arrangements for meeting the requirements of the class.

On days indicated in the schedule below, the entire class will meet at 4:00 p.m. to submit specified materials, make informal progress reports, and so forth.

During class periods not shown on the schedule below, it may be necessary and desirable for you to consult with your instructor, but the class will not meet as a group unless the instructor announces otherwise in advance. Please let your instructor know that you wish to meet with him by leaving a note on his door, calling his office (915-5358), or sending him email at least 24 hours before the desired consultation period.

Attendance at all class meetings listed below is required for all students. Attendance at other class meetings that may be called by the instructor is also required.

Submission of all required materials on the deadline dates listed below is required. Please review the separate handouts that describe each of the requirements (listed below in bold font).

If you fail to attend class meetings or turn in materials on schedule, your grade will be reduced appropriately on the related project components.

Please be aware of the following University deadlines:
