Final Write Up (due Sat June 9th, 11:59pm)
We'll be using the Final Exam Slot from 3:30-6:30pm on Sat June 9th, for project presentations. The most important output of the project is an image or animation to show the class, but we would like a brief writeup documenting your work. Writeup will be due at 11:59pm on June 9th.
Make sure your writeup hits the following points.
SUMMARY. A short (no more than a paragraph) project summary. If applicable, the summary should list your project deliverables (what you showed during the presentation). You've probably already written this into your proposal. For most of you the summary will follow the pattern: "we used algorithm X to render a picture of a Y."
APPROACH. Tell us how the algorithm you implemented works. Your description should the course staff a basic understanding of your approach. Yes, you can appeal to references by saying we implemented this algorithm from this paper, in particular if you know the staff knows the references well. But in general spending a little but of time to describe what you did is desired.
- What are the algorithm's inputs and outputs?
- If you started with an existing piece of code, please mention it (and where it came from) here.
- Did you make any tweaks?
RESULTS. How successful were you at achieving your goals? We expect results sections to differ from project to project, but in general we hope you link to cool images you have rendered or cool animations your code produced.
REFERENCES. Please provide a list of references used in the project.
Please see the CS348B project pages for many good examples of writeups. A quick selection is below.
