The project will test ability to select a topic of interest, learn widely of related facts and previous research, and think deeply and critically about existing literature. The  project  contains  two  parts:  background  facts  and  literature  review.

Background facts: These are the facts that are relevant for your topic. Please  do  not  simply  restate  another  researchers  observation  or  copy  a  graph  or  a  table from an earlier paper. Instead, I expect you to obtain, play with, and present the data, even if in some case this is an exact replication of an earlier work. This is important because in existing papers, an author presents facts in a way that is most supportive of his or her own points. You will likely import another persons opinion if you take his graph as the fact. Also having the data at hand makes it easy for you to explore patterns or check a simple idea.

Literature review: Read the sources very  carefully. Gain knowledge  on  the  topic and come  up  with  a coherent  map  of  the current  state  of  knowledge on  the  topic. While literatures on some issues have a long history, your literature review should weigh toward the newer papers. It is essential that the final literature review is well synthesized, instead of being a list of summaries.  The  set  of  papers  you  select  should  be  published  or  publishable  in  a  peer-reviewed academic journal. You should conclude the literature review section with a summary of the literature review findings. Think about the limitation of the current research and how additional steps can be taken to improve it.
