We will have groups of 5 students. You may either register a group of 3 or 4 persons, or you may register 1 person without a group.
Persons without any group will be added to existing groups to form 5 person groups or new groups will be formed.

A written report 5-10 pages long.
- Send me (Espen) the report in PDF-format by email.
- Name the report: ReportG??.pdf where ?? is replaced by group number (e.g. ReportG02.pdf).
A 5 minutes presentation in front of class (make 4-5 slides)
- Email the slides (PDF) to me (Espen) at least 1 hour before the presentations starts.
- Name the file: SlidesG??.pdf where ?? is replaced by group number.

Do not use names or candidate numbers! Only group numbers and student numbers of its members.

Manage your time:
- Expected total time per person: About 3x12=36 hours.
- Try to 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 constraints.
Focus - at least to begin with. You are not expected to work on all the questions/projects.
You can present partial 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!

Do not use too much time during your presentation.
