Homework 1 - Project Topic Selection

Due: Wednesday April 7, 2010 at 5:00pm

Assignment

Select a topic to cover in your research project/survey paper. Several possible topics are listed below. This is not an exhaustive list. It is just to give you an idea of topics that would be relevant. If you have an unlisted topic in mind but are not sure if it is relevant, contact me BEFORE the due date to discuss your topic.

The actual assignment is to write a couple of paragraphs about your selected topic. The paragraphs should cover what topic you have selected and give a rough outline of what you plan to do (i.e. if you are doing research, you should give a timeline for the research or if you're planning to do a survey paper, you should state that intent).

Email me your write-up in text, OpenOffice or PDF formats only.
