students, research assistants, technicians, or others in such activities as the collection of materials
and data, the design and construction of apparatus, the performance of experiments, the analysis
of data, and the preparation of the thesis including editorial help). If your project was part of a
larger project, specify the unique features of your project that distinguish it from others.

in room N7/9 by the last day of class in the winter term.
4) Students who wish to submit their papers after the April deadline must obtain permission to do

extension are available from Julia Marussi and must be signed by you and the supervising
