Dear Students,
In Spring 2011 I taught a Ph313 Course "Energy Alternatives". I prepared a set of instruction how to write a term paper, and at the end, I gave an example of how I would write a "term paper" about the 1985 Chernobyl nuclear disaster.

I think I don't need to write new instructions for the present course -- please read those instructions (just ignore the header)and follow the same guideliness. As far as the length is concerned, five pages of text will be OK. Graphic illustrations are very helpful in technical reports, so please add two pieces of graphics (data figures, or pictures, whatever may be appropriate, and may help to better understand the material presented). The figures my be embedded in the text, but not neccesariy, you may put them on extra pages. Don't forget to include figure captions, and a list of references. As references, you may use journal articles, web sites -- anything that the reader would be able to access (in principle).

Here is a link to the document I'm talking about: Please click!

Best regards,
Dr. Tom
