Modeling Project: Modelling of synapses

.

• The modeling project is optional and to take it you must register. Register by sending me an email to Dag. Either register a full (or partially full) group, or individually, and I will put you in a group.
• The project part of the course will count 25% of the final grade.
• In the project you will work on a modeling problem in a group of 4-6 students over a period of 3 weeks.
• The project description is published here October 28. This year's topic is modelling of synapses between neurons.

Xavier who is responsible for the project will present the project over Teams on Monday October 31, 0815-1000 and also answer any questions.

He is also available on Wednesday November 2, 0815-0900, and

Friday November 4, 0815-1000 on Teams

Link to the Teams meetings was sent to you by mail Friday 28.

Monday, November 7., 0815-1000, Xavier is present physically in S1 for the help session.

Also assistant Louis and Dag will be present in S1 on Monday.

After that we consider the needs of the students and consider what way the help sessions should be organized.

We propose the following type of help sessions after Nov. 7:

Xavier will be available for questions and "private sessions" through Teams (you got the Teams link in a mail from me) at no specific time. You can contact him here.

In addition, you can use forum page to pose questions as previously.

I hope this arrangement is ok with you.

Don't be worried, but note that we will to some extent consider the group size in the assessment of of your finished project.

1. A written report 5-10 pages long.
   • The report can be either English or Norwegian.

• 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.
• 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!
