The class will be split into groups of 4 students. Each group is to select or propose a modelling topic by 27 September (see schedule above). After about a month, each group will give a 5 minutes mid-project presentation explaining the background and motivation for the problem and outlining the approach for solving the problem and progress made on the project.
At the end of the semester, each group is required to give a 10 minutes oral presentation (plus 5 minutes for Q & A) and to submit a written report (no more than 10 pages). The topics should be open-ended and students will be assessed on diligence, initiatives, team work, modelling sense, results, discussions and presentation.
