29: * *Statement of the Problem*&mdash;including how your understanding of the problem has changed while you have worked on it over the period of the course
30: 
31: * *Rationale*&mdash;explain why the problem is interesting or important? Relate it to other systems and the literature! Why should someone else be interested in the problem chosen by you?
32: 
33: * *Relationship to the Course*&mdash;describe how your research is related to the topics which we discussed in the course
34: 
35: * *Contribution of Individual Team Members*&mdash;describe what element of the overall project of each member of your team focused on
36: 
37: * *Description of Independent Research*
38: ** Non-Implementation Projects:
39: **1. Articulate clearly your contribution
40: **1. Describe how you advanced the knowledge (e.g., questionnaire, testing of developments, new conceptual framework, empirical data)
41: **1. Potential further developments of research - assuming you would have another year to work on: what would you do?
42: 
43: ** Implementation Projects:
44: **1. Technical approach&mdash;discuss the impact of the tools (which you have selected) on the problem solution. Contrast your approach with other approaches to similar problems described in the literature.
45: **1. Description of the system&mdash;describe the structure of your system in sufficiently abstract terms (so that the reader does not get lost in technical details).
46: **1. Description of the system behavior&mdash;what does the program do? Illustrate it with a scenario!
47: **1. Evaluation of the program / system&mdash;it should address questions such as: how well does it work? What are the shortcomings and limitations? Which theoretical issues does it clarify?
48: **1. Potential further developments of your program /system&mdash;assuming you would have another year to work on: what would you do?
49: 
50: * *References*&mdash;List the key references, other systems, previous projects on which your work is based.
