Minimum Standards for Project/Thesis Projects
The purpose of a graduate project is to demonstrate that the student exhibits the qualities of a Computer Science professional. This means that the student must be able to integrate a great deal of information from many sources, plan a study, and prepare a formal research report summarizing his/her findings. The report must tie the specific of what the student has done in the project or thesis to the larger body of literature (articles, texts, etc.) that the student researched.
Proposals: A project/thesis proposal must be thoroughly researched and developed and must meet the conditions set by the Department of Computer Science. Please read the following: “Students who select the thesis or project as their culminating activity are urged to complete it during the semester they are enrolled in the designated course (customarily taken during the last semester of the master’s program). In cases where the thesis or project is not completed during enrollment in these units, students are allowed a maximum of three additional semesters to complete the thesis or project. If the thesis or project is not completed by this deadline (and the program time limit has not run out), members of the committee can choose to withdraw. In the case of a faculty member withdrawing, it is the responsibility of the student to reconstitute the committee. Exceptions to the policy on Graduate Advisory Committees may be requested by the graduate program coordinator and must be approved by the dean of Graduate Programs.” -- Page 6, Guide to Graduate Studies.
“The research proposal is a conceptual statement of a problem that warrants significant study. The graduate student should work with the graduate advisory committee in developing a research proposal and receive approval from the committee before research begins.” -- Page 27, Guide to Graduate Studies.

Bibliography: The annotated bibliography is a list of all of the related research materials that the student is aware of that relate to his/her general research area along with comments as to why each entry is important. This list may be much larger and less specific than the reference list, and entries are not linked to the body of the text via citations, although entries on the reference list may also be entered here. Index. Appendices. Format of the Proposal: The Proposal should use a format similar to the one that will be used for Master’s Project/Thesis write-up itself, and is generally expected to mass more than 8 pages, double spaced.
