Some Notes on Projects

• all current project students will attend a number of Masters Project `Community of Practice' Meetings to develop project and research -related skills.
• some notes on project reports, including principles of correct attribution from other sources (i.e. avoiding plagiarism). You need to understood this from the early stages of your project!
• some general notes regarding implementation projects
  
• eScience systems that can be used for student projects
• miscellaneous programming and optimisation hints for student projects
