encouraged to read them before attending the classes.
2) Group Presentations:
Group Presentation should last not more than 30 minutes, plus about 10 minutes for

The deadline of submitting the Course Project Reports is 08 April 2014 (Tue) at 12:00.
Any groups who submit the Written Report on the same day but after 12:00 will be

will be deducted for each day of late submission (for example, if you submit at 09 April
2014 (on or before 12:00), 5 marks will be deducted, while 10 marks will be deducted if
you submit on 10 April 2014 (on or before 12:00), and so forth).
All groups should strictly follow the Course Project’s format as indicated in the Course
