Project advice

This section contains generic project advice for students.
Caveat: this advice was my personal view when I wrote it. If it sounds good, feel free to use it, if it doesn't, feel free to ignore.

Subjects:

• Main rule: be honest with yourself
• Supervision: practicalities
• Project planning
• Project execution
• Creating a presentation
• Finding literature
• Grading

For writing a thesis or report about the project, see my advise on writing.

Main rule: be honest with yourself (and your supervisor)

Be honest
This is probably obvious, but it needs saying nevertheless.
Be honest with yourself (and your supervisor). Be frank about your limitations, with respect to things such as your skills and your available time.
