At my discretion, I will give up to 100 bonus points for project ideas
of
- Unusual originality. In this business, I get a lot of
"Let's do a survey to find out student opinion of X." While there is
nothing wrong with such a project, there is nothing particularly original
or (for the most part, from my point of view) interesting about it. So
I'm offering bonus points for ideas which inspire me. To get points for
this category, in your first project proposal you must tell me why you
think your project idea deserves points for unusual originality.
- Documented significance. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you
could do a great statistics project and at the same time do some
significant work in some area of science or engineering, or some other
discipline? I will give you bonus points if you can convince me this will
be the case with your project. To get points for
this category, in your first project proposal you must tell me why you
think your project has significance, and in what discipline it has
significance. You must also supply me with a reference backing up your
claim.
