Please note that the due date for the topic study report and the project, is on the last day to submit term work, which is Monday April 2, 2012, 23:55. Please note that the last day to submit term work is a hard deadline which cannot be extended, because it is a university regulation.

Although you don't need to hand in the topic study report until April 2, you should really try to complete the topic study report much sooner, because it is going to be important to concentrate your efforts on the project, which is worth 40% of the course grade.
