Timetable for Presentation/Research paper

General Information:

These projects will have both a written and an oral component.
The last week of classes (June 28-July 1^st) will be reserved for oral presentations, and the paper is due June 30th at 10:30 a.m.
These projects can be based on interesting problems or applications that were considered in class, but which were not resolved, or they can be on almost any topic (related to the course material) which has captured your interest. Here are some suggestions for applications to:
- Statistics:
  - Balanced Incomplete Block designs and projective planes
  - Designs
- Coding Theory:
  - Finite geometries and codes
- Computer Science:
  - Applications of finite geometries to Computer Science
- Finite Geometries:
  - Coordinatization
- Algebra
  - Some classes of semifields
- Combinatorics
  - Finite projective panes and orthogonal Latin squares
  - The projective plane of order 10
All topics must be approved in advance by the instructor and all projects must be completed by the assigned presentation date.
Attendance during the project presentations is mandatory for everyone in the class. Each absence during the presentation period will reduce your presentation grade by 10 points.

Written progress reports are due on the following dates:

Tuesday June 8	Title (topic), resources, literature
Monday June 14	Research to date; idea for presentation
Monday June 21	Draft of paper and sketch of presentation
