III. Course objectives
At the completion of this project, the student should:
- have documentation abilities on an established topic in Algebra and Geometry;
- be able to design the table of contents of the dissertation;
- know how to write the dissertation in several iterations.	

IV. Course contents
Project activities are individual activities performed by each student as part of the preparation of its/hers dissertation thesis.  
From a structural viewpoint, a dissertation will have three parts:
  - conceptual;
  - technological;
  - applicative.
In the first term, the goal of project activities is to obtain a draft version of the conceptual part of the dissertation thesis.	

V. Bibliography
All kind of resources on the projects and on the particular topics of the projects.	

VI. Thematic of didactic activities per weeks
The activities schedule follows closely the steps required for the work and their due dates.	

VII. Didactic methods used
The class is based on the following methods: exposure, conversation, didactical proof, modeling, and the discussion of some case studies and significant examples. The work consists of individual assignments. 
Each student must prepare a research paper on an established topic.	

VIII. Assessment
Each of the activities above has a due date and a corresponding mark, on a 10-point scale. A penalty of 1pt per week are considered for delays. The weights are as follows:
1. title (10%)
2. documentation (20%)
3. contents v1.0 - theoretical part (10%)
4. assigning sources to structure (20%)
5. first draft of the theoretical part (40%)
The final grade is computed as a weighted average of the marks for individual activities.	

IX. Additional references
Any kind of resources on projects and on the particular topics of the projects.
