Some Examples of Final Projects from 2006

2008-04-20T13:03:00.000-07:00

There's a few projects posted under Weeks Eleven and Twelve to the right. These are real projects from the last time the course was taught. Note, however, that the field has advanced: the requirements for this year are somewhat different than in the past, so be careful in the lessons you draw from them. The exemplars may be helpful, however, in giving a sense of scope. We will discuss why the requirements have changed in class because the changes reflect a changing field.
