Written Report

You will be required to hand in a written report describing your project, which is due Tuesday December 2rd, at 5pm in Room Pratt 484. The report should have a maximum of 1500 words and contain the following sections:

• Introduction/Motivation - what you're doing and why.
• A description of the design, in both illustrations (block diagram) and words. This should be a well-written easy-to-read document!
• A description of the working/not working status of the project. If it did not work, indicate the reasons why you think it didn't work.
• Indicate what you would do differently if your were to start the project over again. What did you learn?

INCLUDE as appendices: your design files (graphic design files and VHDL files) as well as any simulation output files that illustrate the working of your project.

The project accounts for 10% of your overall grade. This will be a total of 35 marks broken down in the following way:

Progress/1st Lab Prep in each of the 3 lab project periods, a mark out of 5. The mark for the first period will be based on the quality of the preparation - you must come with one periods worth of work to do in the lab, using the lab facilities. You shouldn't be doing design work here, but implementation.

Report/Technical Quality A grade out of 10 on how good your design is. Did you choose a reasonable implementation or did you come up with a complicated solution? Have you taken a good design approach, considering partitioning and hierarchy? How well does it work?

Report/Writing Quality A grade out of 10 on the quality of the written document. In industry, good technical work usually goes un-noticed unless it is documented well.
