Conduct research on a topic directly related to the course and then present their research in a five-page paper, plus references. Students will be evaluated on the selection and quality of their topic (more difficult topics will be given a higher grade than easy topics) as well as the quality of their research and paper. This project consists of a five-page paper on any topic related to the course, broadly computer hardware and software. A sixth page of references is also required.
