EKDV691 — Quick Reference & Study Guide What it likely is Assuming EKDV691 is a course code (graduate-level special topics/independent study) — this guide organizes typical expectations: syllabus elements, study plan, assessment prep, resources, and sample schedule. If you meant something else (a product, file, or standard), tell me and I’ll adapt.

Course goals (assumed)

Master advanced topic X through readings, projects, and presentations. Apply theory to an independent research or implementation project. Produce a final report and oral defense.

Core components

Weekly readings + seminar discussions Problem sets or coding assignments (biweekly) Midterm progress check / literature review (week 6–8) Final project (implementation + written report + presentation) Participation (peer feedback, discussion posts)

Recommended syllabus outline (12–14 weeks)

Week 1 — Introduction, scope, outcomes; choose project topic Week 2 — Foundational theory & key papers Week 3 — Methods and tools; set up environment Week 4 — Readings deep dive; draft research question Week 5 — Small exploratory assignment / proof of concept Week 6 — Literature review due; feedback session Week 7 — Mid-project milestone; refine methods Week 8 — Advanced techniques; troubleshooting lab Week 9 — Data collection / experiments run Week 10 — Preliminary results; draft report outline Week 11 — Final implementation; peer review Week 12 — Final report due; presentations scheduled (Weeks 13–14 optional: revisions and final defense)

Grading breakdown (suggested)

Final project report: 40% Project implementation / code: 25% Presentation: 15% Literature review / midterm deliverable: 10% Participation & assignments: 10%

Project structure & deliverables

Title + abstract (1 paragraph) Introduction & related work (3–4 pages) Methods / implementation details (2–6 pages) Experiments / evaluation (metrics, results, visualizations) Discussion, limitations, future work (1–2 pages) Appendix: code link, data sources, reproducibility notes
