Graduation Thesis web site

Website launch (deadline: 16 Dec)

You are required to build your own Graduation Thesis web site and submit a link to the Graduation Thesis web site.

For the standard GT website setup, please put all your web files under the folder "fyp" and use only one entry web page "index.htm."

For example,
all of your web pages shouldbe under 59999999\fyp;
the single entry web page should be 59999999\fyp\index.html

Please also note all web files must use "relative path" instead of "absolute path," so that all files can be referred conrrectly after copying or moving the folder.

Please submit the link to the Graduation Thesis coordinator, Yue Jin Ho (yuejinho(at)cityu.edu.hk). You can update your web site anytime you want.

Please use lowercase letter for ALL FILE NAMES in your website.

If you fail to submit the link, your final grade will be deducted by one sub-grade.

GT Website Mid-term assessment (deadline: 27 Jan)

You should start working on your GT project during the winter semester break. You should reflect your research process in the website, showing what you have done so far from the draft proposal. The website will be assessed by your advisor.

Final assessment (deadline: March)

- research-theoretical text (deadline: 19 March 2009)

- In the case of installation works, you need to post a plan of your presentation with details of its components, including images and texts.

- For projects with video submissions or computer applications, students should capture 1 to 3 screen shots and save them as common graphics format. These will be used as poster frames for DVD production of student works to distribute to overseas festivals or competitions.

You should keep your web site working within the grading period (until June).
