Project unit
There is a very wide range of topics available. Full details are given in the project handbook, available on the handbook webpage (http://www.maths.bris.ac.uk/study/undergrad/handbooks/).
Aims
To give students an opportunity to study a topic of their choice, working more or less independently, and to develop experience of report-writing and oral presentation.
The projects are very variable, and no general statement of mathematical learning objectives is possible.
Transferable Skills:
Self-directed study; library research and use of the mathematical literature; time management; report writing; oral presentation.
Guidance from supervisor, leading to independent study with further discussion with supervisor as necessary. Skills training is provided early in teaching block 1; details are in the project handbook, available on the handbook webpage (http://www.maths.bris.ac.uk/study/undergrad/handbooks/).
The student normally produces a written report (contributing 90% of the final assessment mark) and gives a short talk about it (contributing 10% of the final assessment mark). The dates for submission of the written report are in the project handbook, available on the handbook webpage (http://www.maths.bris.ac.uk/study/undergrad/handbooks/). The dates for the project talks will be published in the Blackboard course "MATHS_PROJECTS", and emailed to all enrolled students.
