Personal Work

  1. Your answers during the Lab Work sessions are recorded.
  2. You are expected to make a personal contribution (project) during the week.
  3. There will be a small quiz on the last day.

Your Project

Your project will typically consist of an improvement on some topic studied during the Lab Work sessions. You should pick a problem that you want to investigate further. Initiative is welcome.
  1. You may choose one of the "Suggestions for further work" mentioned in the lab sessions, but you are free to choose any topic that you regard as relevant.
  2. Your study should be based on simulation results.
  3. You should seek for simple and clear-cut results from which we can learn something (even if you study is inconclusive, we want to know clearly why). Initiative and logical clarity will be appreciated.
  4. Try to be realistic about what you can do. Your study should not be trivial, and it should lead somewhere.
  5. Your contribution shoud be achieved using the Evolife platform. If it involves code, this code should be in Python.
You are encouraged to work in pairs. In this case,
  1. the two partners should be from different universities (and from countries if possible).
  2. both partners should enter the same project (title, description) on the site.
  3. Both members of the pair should be heard during the Friday presentation.
  4. If you opt for a common report, then the report should include two separate parts that make clear who did what.

Please indicate here what you intend to do as a project.
    You may decide as soon as Tuesday evening.
    If you change your mind, redo the inscription.
