BIRLA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY & SCIENCE, PILANI

HYDERABAD CAMPUS

FIRST SEMESTER 2011-2012

Advanced Computational Techniques (CE G513)

COMPUTER PROJECTS (Weightage: 10 %)

GENERAL

• The project in this course represents a chance for you to develop and demonstrate

your ability to do independent work. This is an opportunity, but also a

responsibility and to take seriously and involves a significant time commitment.

Start your work early. Plan a schedule and stick to it.

• There are three major components to a project: Software Development,

Debugging & Testing.

• To receive credit for the project, your program must compile. You will receive

minimal credit if your program doesn't compile. The reason for this is that basic

 programming knowledge is a prerequisite for the course, and is not being covered

in the course. The course is about Numerical Analysis, not computer 

 programming. If you're having trouble with your code then I'm absolutely happy

to help you, either briefly after class time or in office hours.

• You should not assume that user input will be reasonable; in particular you must

avoid run-time errors by checking data. Some people think this is a waste of time,

 but in my opinion it is absolutely necessary and is a part of good programming.

• "Working together" doesn't mean letting someone else do all the work and then

giving a seminar that you have done it. Each of your contribution towards the

 project should be clearly stated in final project report.

• Any code not written by you or someone you are working with (in particular code

written by people not taking the course) is not eligible for inclusion in your 

 program. Any instances of this will be considered cheating; you will receive no

credit for the project and may face further penalties.
