CS349D: Project Information
Proposal
Your project proposal should be 2-3 pages long (single column, minimum 10pt font size). The proposal should include the following information:
- The team members (names and Stanford email address)
- The problem you want to address including some background information on the topic (e.g., a few key references)
- The specific goals you want to achieve (expected results)
- The methodology and required resources
- A brief timeline for the rest of the quarter
Midterm Review
In preparation of your meeting with the instructors to review progress and issues with your project, please prepare and submit a slide presentation of no more than 3 slides (Google Slides, PPT, or PDF) that includes the following information:
- The team members (names and Stanford email address)
- A review of the problem you are addressing (be specific now)
- Your technical approach
- Your methodology
- Preliminary results: measurements of the problem, feasibility experiments, lessons from using the tools you will rely on, etc.
- Roadmap for the rest of the quarter
- Obstacles, dependencies, concerns, and unresolved issues. Where possible, list backup plan
Final Presentations
Your presentation slot is 15min but we strongly suggest you prepare for a 10-12min presentation and leave time for questions.
We will strictly enforce time, so please practice!
We suggest the following outline for your talk:
- The problem
- The idea
- Design and implementation (1-2 slides)
- What works/status
- A key measurement/experiment
Final Reports
Upload a 5-6 page project report by June 12th at 6:30PM PT to Gradescope. We strongly encourage earlier submissions if possible, especially if you are graduating! We recommend using the ACM SIGPLAN template, but any sane single-spaced, two-column layout will be accepted. Though you can adjust as needed, we recommend the following report structure:
- Introduction -- 1 page
- Motivation/Background/Related Work -- 1 page
- Design/Implementation -- 1.5-2 pages
- Evaluation -- 1-1.5 pages
- Discussion/Limitations/Next Steps: 0.5 page
