CSC734 - Readings in Computer Science / College of Computing, Informatics and Media

The objective of this course is to help a student to get started in the Research Project in the following semester. The course provides for individual study in areas of computer science not covered in the regular curriculum under the supervision of a computer science lecturer. The supervisor guides the student in the research process. The student and the supervisor should have an agreement on the work to be done by the student in advance; and then, develop the work over the semester. Regular meetings with the supervisor are required. The student may be asked to research and review literature in the area of the planned Research Project, or to analyse/ compare/ improve/ apply selected algorithms or methods as part of the process of developing solutions to the Research Project’s problem. The work done is to be presented in a form of a paper that is phrased and structured like an academic article, and also communicated in an informal oral presentation
