• This is an essential course for all Majors in Mathematics.
• Students will work in Project Seminar Groups, where a number of students would be allocated with the same topic to work together under one supervisor but they would each submit an individual final report upon completion.
• A list of topics would be announced via email, to eligible students, some time in July (for Sem 1 projects) / December (for Sem 2 projects). Eligible students would be invited to indicate their preferences.
• Projects would be allocated by the Department before the start of the semester.
• Each Group shall have about 6 students and be led by one supervisor who is an academic staff of the Department.
• Each Group should meet regularly, preferably from week 2 for no fewer than four times.
• The supervisor would coordinate all activities including seminars, discussions, individual work, presentations and report-writing within a Group.
• The supervisor would normally assign some (smaller) topics within the broad theme of the Group and it is expected that students’ abilities and performance will be reflected adequately in this framework
• The supervisor may give one or two preliminary lectures to lay down some foundations for the students in the Group.
• Each student in a Group is expected to give several talks throughout the project period. The talks should be comprehensible to other students within the same Group as they are expected to learn from such presentations. These presentations will be graded, mainly on how clear and efficient the materials have been presented.
• Students are strongly encouraged to hold regular study sessions outside regular formal meetings.
• Each student in a Group is required to write an individual report at the end. Each report should be less than 30 pages long. 
• A student’s project grade is strictly performance-based and takes into consideration factors such as the level of difficulty of the topic, clarity of presentation, findings in the final report and quality of the report. In particular, there is no a priori maximal or minimal mark.
• Each student in a Group will be individually graded, and the supervisor is the sole examiner for all students in that Group.
