In the next progress report, in addition to significant progress, I hope to see the following
|
||
deficiencies corrected. If you have none, don't worry about it, but most progress reports
|
||
exhibited one or more of them.
|
||
|
||
1. A full draft of the abstract. I know that there is a lot of provisional thinking about what
|
||
you may be able to accomplish, but by now, you should be able to articulate a goal well
|
||
enough to come up with a proper abstract.
|
||
|
||
2. Remove irrelevant text. Many submissions had text leftover from the original template;
|
||
this is now a distraction.
|
||
|
||
3. Use the template originally provided, or a near equivalent. Don’t change formatting of
|
||
margins, the type point, statement of authorship, etc.
|
||
|
||
4. Attend to mechanics: spelling, capitalization, grammar, etc.
|
||
|
||
5. Document all external sources, including data sets, software and sources of algorithmic
|
||
ideas.
|
||
|
||
6. Be careful of common errors in writing, like unnecessarily saying the same thing more
|
||
than once. We will discuss this more in class.
|
||
|
||
7. Be careful about overmuch etiological narrative, describing your progress and
|
||
failures. We will also give this further attention in class.
