A list of project titles and supervisors is attached for your reference. You are welcome to consult with staff members on their projects (though some of them will be away from Hong Kong and hence are unavailable). We will allocate the projects to students, conforming as best we can to their preferences. If there is more than one student selecting a given project, priority will be given to the student with the highest average mark on the 2nd-year Statistics and Actuarial Science papers. Some consideration will also be given to other courses the student has selected.
The project commences on September 1, 2010. You are required to complete the project by the end of January 2012. You are also required to give an oral presentation in early February and submit a complete report by the end of February 2012.
