• Manage your time:
  • Expected total time per person: About 3x12=36 hours.
  • Try plan, focus, and limit the work so that you get some results in the expected time without using many extra hours.
  • Imagine you work in a company and the group is given 3 weeks and 36 hours per member to finish the project (some results, report, presentation). Do your best with these constaints.
• Focus on one of the projects - at least to begin with. You are not expected to work on all the projects.
• You can present partial answers and results.
• Try and fail is ok as long as you do not cover up.
• You may discuss across the groups, but reports and presentations must be made independently.
• You may use any literature you find, but you must give references to the source!
• Do not copy from any source without understanding the material first!
