Pete Jinks's list of 3rd year Student Projects

Project information for 3rd year students including full list of projects.

The grading (C/UF/F/LF/S) only indicates the potential difficulty of the project - in practice, the difficulty can usually be adjusted as the project progresses. However, make sure to discuss the grading with me, so that you don't end up doing a project that is too simple to show how good you really are.
