Consider midterm report as preliminary final report
Content• A short and clear report is better than a long, confused, and
repetitive report. The report should be at most 8 pages + title page + table of contents + appendix.
• A good structure with subheadings is important.• The methods section should describe the experimental / design
approach for the entire quarter. How are you going to analyze the data? How are you going to evaluate the performance of the design? Etc
• Figures and tables need captions. – Captions should be detailed enough to understand the figure without
consulting the text. – All figures and tables have to be referred to in the text.
• Include Gantt CHart
Formatting
• Report specs: double space, font size 11 or 12, margins 0.5 in, 8 pages. List of figures/tables not required.
• Avoid bulleted lists. A report should consist of free flowing text. Use tables instead of bulleted lists, when necessary (in that case tables require captions and should be referred to in the text).
• Proofread report for language and correct references to figures.
• Number each section and subsection.• Use large fonts for text in figures (e.g. axis labels).
– In matlab use "set(0,'defaultaxesfontsize',13);" at the beginning of every m file
