Deliverables:

• A written report containing the theoretical background, methods employed, practical application results, plus a breakdown of each gang member's role. The report must be written in HTML and be available on the WWW. Projects will be archived for posterity. Length: equivalent of 10-15 pages. (50% of grade)
• A poster presentation on your project. (50% of grade)
• Grading will be based on the results of the work (that is, 'did it work?'), the degree of innovation, and the quality of the written report and poster presentation.

• 1 November: Set up gang (3-4 members); choose topic and gang name.
  Email Michael Wakin with this info.
• 13 December: Poster session, DH 3092, 1-4pm.
• 18 December: Written reports due.

We will provide easels and black foam boards on which to pin your poster. The boards measure 48x48". You might want to make the poster approx 42" square, with a 1" white border (leaving 40" square for content). PLAN AHEAD, since last-minute adjustments to shape and size are not fun in Powerpoint.

For design and printing tips, refer to the "resources" section of the Cain Project web page.
