Modeling Project

• The modeling project is optional and to take it you must register.
• It counts for 25% of the final grade whether you take it or not.
• In the project you will work on a modeling problem in a group of 4-5 students over a period of 3 weeks.

• Registration deadline: October 3
• Startup: October 31
• Report Deadline: Thursday 17.11.

• Advice:

• We will try to have groups of 4 or 5 students. Below you may either register a group of 4 OR 5 persons, or you may register 1 person without a group. After the deadline, persons not in any groups will be placed in existing groups to create 5 person groups (or new groups will be formed).

• Register here (before october 3). Registration is now closed

• Final groups will be formed after october 3.

• The groups are now formed.
• Check that final groups are correct and no mistake has been made.

• The group can exclude anyone not doing their fair share.

The reports have been graded my me (Espen) in collaboration with Harald Krogstad.

The quality of the projects this year is very good, but the discussion and conclusion parts of the reports are weak and should be improved a lot. The standard of the work done and the grades obtained are comparable to earlier years.
