Guidelines for final
project reports
Due date
Final
project reports are due by Wednesday, April 30 at 11:59 PM. Points will be
deducted from final project grades for late reports.
Content of the report
The
report should be written in the style of a technical conference submission.
Content should include, but is not limited to:
- Title that clearly indicates
the topic of the report
- Names and contact information
for all students working jointly on the project
- Brief abstract (150-200
words) giving a summary of your work/findings/implementation.
- Introduction and
motivation/rationale for the project (why is this topic/work important?)
- Related work
- Goals, research questions,
hypotheses
- Description of the
implementation and environment(s), including illustrative figures
- Exploratory study
- Formal study
- Experimental method: List of hardware and software you used to complete
your implementation (displays, input devices, toolkits, languages,
etc.), Description of subjects who completed the evaluation, Experimental design (independent and dependent
variables, type of variables, etc.),
Experimental
procedure
- Results and analysis of
results
- Discussion of results
- Conclusions and future work
- References
Format of the report
- Reports should be no more
than eight (8) pages in the ACM SIGGRAPH
conference format (EXCEPTION: If you plan to submit your project
report to a non-ACM conference, use that conference's formatting
guidelines)
- The final project report
should be turned in electronically, as an MS Word (.doc) or PDF file
- Mail the file as an
attachment to Dr. Bowman (bowman@vt.edu)
- I encourage the use of
figures, illustrations, and graphs to enhance the text where
appropriate, but figures should not be used to fill space. Neither
should important figures be removed to save space!
