Undergraduate FYP
* Don't consider me as your supervisor if:
1. you are lazy
2. you are not keen to do self-exploration on new areas
3. you want to do little work and get a lot of marks
4. you do not have strong interest in your FYP topic
5. you always complaining you are busy with quiz, mid-term, practical test, etc and no time to do FYP
6. you are not able to schedule an appointment to meet me at least once in every 2 weeks to report your FYP progress
7. you are not able to print out your report and let me comment after each chapter is done (don't email me your report unless you have been told to do so)
8. you hope your FYP can be done in few days without sleeping
How do you know you are in the schedule? This serves as a guide.
FYP1:
Week 1/2 - Refine project objectives and scope, complete Chapter 1.
Week 3/4 - Refine literature review, complete Chapter 2, test system basic functions
Week 5/6 - Complete Chapter 3, continue testing system basic functions
Week 7/8 - Complete Chapter 4, integrate initial system (30% of the whole system)
Week 9/10 - Refine and complete the whole report for submission, initial system should be working
Week 11/12 - Further develop from the initial system (make it 30~50% of the whole system)
Week 13/14 - Prepare for presentation and demo
FYP2:
Week 1/2 - Refine and complete the report from Chapter 1 to 4.
Week 3/4 - Complete 50% of the system
Week 5/6 - Complete 75% of the system
Week 7/8 - Complete 90% of the system
Week 9/10 - Complete Chapter 5 & 6, complete 95% of the system
Week 11/12 - Complete Chapter 7, refine and complete the whole report for submission, system 100% working
Week 13/14 - Prepare for presentation, demo, and FYP competitions
