ASU PHY 494 Final Project

For your Final Project you have to:

1. fulfill the objectives that you defined in your Proposal (add your proposal.pdf to the repository under docs);
2. collaborate as a team;
3. use the Wiki to keep a "lab notebook" for the project;
4. present the work as a poster;
5. individually explain various aspects of the work in a Q&A in front of the poster.

For an overview over the requirements see docs/final_overview.pdf.

Team repository

You will be working in your private repository to which only your team has access. Your instructor will send you a link to automatically set up this repository (services provided by Classroom for GitHub).

Your private team repository should be named final-PROJECT-TITLE.

Updating the Team repository

In order to pull in changes and updates from the Final Project repository, run the update.sh script:

./scripts/update.sh

Directory layout

• Submission: Put all the code and data required to perform the required simulations in this directory. When grading, only code in this directory will be taken into account.
• docs: notes and other documentation (not graded).
• poster: put the poster (and supporting files as specified in the instructions) into a separate directory.
• Work: additional code and data that you want to version control but that should not be graded.
• Grade: instructors/graders can add comments in this directory.

Submission

• Submit code and data through your GitHub repository. Make sure that GitHub properly associates your commits with your GitHub username. Check that the contributions are properly accounted for (the Contributors statistics under Graphs).
• Commit your abstract as poster/abstract.txt
• Commit your poster to the GitHub repo, too, as poster/poster.pdf (convert to PDF).
