In particular “five marks out of 100 will be deducted for coursework
submitted within 24 hours of the deadline and a further five marks will
be deducted for each subsequent 24-hour period (working days only)
until the coursework is submitted. After five working days, coursework
will only be accepted with the permission of the Chair of the Sub-Board
of Examiners”.
• Please submit two spiral bound copies of your project report. In
addition, please upload your report as a PDF-file and all other
files containing your computer codes, figures, etc. via Moodle.
If your candidate number is 123456 then name your PDF file
CN123456report.pdf. You can check your candidate number on
‘LSE for You’. Name the other electronic files similarly and
make sure that none of the electronic files contains your name.
• Make sure that the title page of your printed report contains
your candidate number but not your name. Make a copy of
this title page, write your name on it and submit this separately
along with the two bound copies. (This is for the administrators
to keep track of your reports and will not be forwarded to the
examiners.)
• When you submit the electronic copy on Moodle you will be
asked to confirm, by submission that you understand the School’s
regulations on plagiarism and assessment, and by submitting
your work on Moodle you are confirming that all work contained
within your work is your own, apart from properly referenced
quotations.
Keep in mind that you are asked to write a report and not just
a question-answer style exercise set solution. The report should be
maximum 25 single sided A4 pages including plots and the bibliography
but excluding the title page and the codes. The font size must be at
1

least 11pt and the line spacing should be 1.5. The left hand margin
should be 3.5cm and the right hand margin should be 2.0cm. Footnotes
are not allowed. In addressing the problems, explain carefully in the
main body of the text what you are doing to solve these tasks and any
observations you make during the simulations. You are free and in fact
welcome to make further studies in the context of each problem. This
will have a positive influence on your final mark.
Marks are awarded for the overall structure and presentation of the
project as well as the quality of research carried out. Great emphasis
will be put on your ability to communicate your results and methods.
You are free to use any platform for your simulations or numerical
studies. However, a single platform should be used throughout the
entire project. Collaboration for writing the code is not allowed. You
will need to write the codes as well as the report yourself. It is in your
own interest to contain comments in your codes.
The project consists of 4 problems. You must solve ALL problems.
