Dear CS-175 Class,

As promised in my previous email, for your convenience I have put
online two *OPTIONAL* templates for your final report:

http://www.ics.uci.edu/~rickl/cs-175/format/tex/

http://www.ics.uci.edu/~rickl/cs-175/format/word/

(Also available as links on my home page.)

These are taken from my field's major international conference
(Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology), and are typical
of general computer science technical conference paper formats.

You should change "Bioinformatics" to something you choose as
more applicable to your own project.

Also for your convenience, I have put online slides from a talk
on "How to give a successful technical talk."  In particular,
note the two most common "simple stories" for technical talks,
on slides 3 and 4.

(Also available as a link on my home page.)

As stated in class, we are trying to evaluate INDIVIDUAL work
and performance even though the class format by necessity is
in a team context.  Consequently, these are INDIVIDUAL final
reports, and should reflect YOUR OWN work and effort.

Please see my previous email for more details on your report.
As stated there, the due date is postponed to Thursday, 21 May.


    All best regards,  Rick Lathrop
