Design Project Two: Frequently Asked Questions Last updated: $Date: 2009-04-06 12:05:03 -0400 (Mon, 06 Apr 2009) $ Q: Do we really need to stay within 5,000 words? A: Yes. We expect you to adhere to the word limit. That said, we're not going to penalize you for being just a few words over the limit -- we're mostly concerned with the quality of your report. If your report contains 5,000 + X words, and you're worried whether X counts as "just a few," you should probably cut some words. Remember to print the word count at the end of your final report. Q: Do the figure captions count against the word limit? A: Yes. Don't skimp on captions to lower your word count however; appropriate captions are important for clarity. Q: Does pseudocode contribute towards the word count? A: You may exclude pseudocode from the word count. With that in mind, you should be careful not to use pseudocode in place of an adequate description of your design in the body of your report. The instructors will be looking to see that your design is well-described in the actual text of your report, and that certain design choices aren't described only in pseudocode. more to come... |
