This course provides highly motivated students an opportunity to work independently with faculty on research topics chosen by individual faculty. Students are generally expected to perform a literature review, identify areas of potential contribution, and explore extensions to existing results. The course culminates in a concise, well written report describing a problem, its background history, any independent results achieved, and directions for future research. Evaluation will be based upon participation, presentations, and the final written report. Open to senior majors in Computer Science, with permission of the instructor.
Enrollment is limited.
