CS 477 Term Project for Spring 2000

The term project is a team effort, with six to eight students on each team. Project documentation is as important in the grading as is the final product. Team project participation is a requirement of the course.

For those teams picking up a project continued from last fall's cs577a, the document archive can be accessed by loging in to one of the SCF machines (aludra, nunki, etc.) and doing

  cd ~csci577/www/teamX

where teamX is the location where teamX's data is. These directories are public readable and you may copy the document files to your own team directory.
