+CS4983: Senior Technical Report
+- Typically offered in Fall, Winter and Summer
+- 2 credit hour course
+- Counted as technical electives
+- Counts as 2 credit hours towards English writing requirement
+- Meant to be a critical analysis of some appropriate topic, a required component of a report that will be suitable literature survey, including a significant bibliography
+- 70-80 Hours typically
+- Same as CS4997, need to find a supervisor
+- Deliverables:
+	- One page proposal
+	- Two progress reports
+	- The report, generally 10-20 pages
+	- Seminar, normally 15 minutes plus 5 minutes for questions
+CS4997: Honors Thesis
+- Typically offered in Fall and Winter as an 8th month course, or a Summer course in 4 months
+- 4 Credit Hour
+- Technical electives for BCS students
+- 4 Credit hours towards 12 credit hour courses that have significant English writing component
+- Required for a BCS Honors
+	- 5 out of 7 must be 3rd Year
+	- 2 of Those must be 4th Year or higher
+	- With a grade of B in this course
+	- Cumulative GPA of 3.0, 3.5 for a First Class Honors
+- Good for students who wish to pursue graduate studies as it provides credits towards your graduate required credits
+- Original Research, under supervision and writing a thesis that summarizes the work completed
+- Typically 140-160 person-hours on CS4997
+- Responsible for selecting a thesis topic and obtaining agreement of a CS professor to act as supervisor, you may also work with an external supervisor but you will require an internal CS supervisor
+- Can *possibly* be done in group of two
+- Deliverables:
+	- One page proposal, due early in the course, including an initial bibliography
+	- A plan, break down your proposal into segments and phases, with an estimated amount of time for each phase
+	- Two progress reports, due throughout the course
+	- A thesis draft, which can range from and outline and a sample chapter to a preliminary version of the entire thesis
+	- A thesis, generally expected to be 15-25 pages
+	- A seminar, normally 20 minutes, plus 5 for questions
+CS4999: Directed Studies in Computer Science
+- Pursue directed studies in specific areas and topics related to Computer Science
+- More like a regular course than others, as more regular meetings with professor but still very much directed learning, and the course might only have one or two students in it
+- The students/prof will work out a plan/schedule, there can be assignments, tests, etc., but it needs to be approved
+- Recent Topics:
+	- Intro to Mixed Reality
+	- Advanced Video Game Development
+	- Advanced Algorithmic Techniques
+	- Introduction to Kubernetes
+
+Some recent topics for CS4983 and CS4997
+- Ease of robot sociability in teleoperation
+- Exploration how representation robot teleoperator performance with health indicators can affect teleoperator behavior and experience
+- the story of my robot life
+- Infant cry detection on edge devices
+- An exploration of monolingual English definition with GPT2 and GPT3 models
+- Societal impacts of language models
+
+## Gaia Info:
+Their project is "Magnetic Resonance on Networks"
+Says very important for graduate school
+Can look into getting work into journals
+
+How they started with their report was asking profs about work they needed done, and got the project assigned to them
+
+4th Year Parallelism course by Aubaniel is good apparently.
+
+## Topics that are of interest to Profs
+Connor Wilson interested in computer science education or in credibility technology (believability of tech)
+Dr. Francis Palma related to software engineering and software quality:
+- Prioritizing issues in Agile Software Development
+- Do Readability in change-proneness of software systems relate?
+- Are poorly designed software systems more prone to design flaws/bugs
+Shadi:
+- Future proofing computer science education
+- Is generative AI reshaping the computer science job market
+
+## Other Info
+There is a coordinator in the summer and winter, Michael Fleming and David Bremner respectively.
+
+Designed to explore opportunities to explore some computer science topic that interests you, at a greater level than what you would see in a regular class.
+
+All of these would involve making arrangements with faculty who would be willing to supervise your project.
+
+## Finding a project
+In some cases, you might have a fully formed idea and you would need to find a faculty member to supervise this
+
+In other cases a faculty member will have a well defined project and is looking for a student to complete it
+
+In some cases, a student might have a general idea, and will meet with supervisors and will try to turn it into a more specific plan
+
+Students and supervisors will meet regularly to provide guidance but it is expected that students will be able to work independently
+
+## How to find a supervisor
+- Talk to profs you know
+- Go to the faculty and staff link on the UNB website, and find faculty members that have research interests that line up with yours
+- Attend Bits and Bites presentations
+
+## My potential ideas
+Needs to be somewhat novel it seems:
+Concurrent Systems
+Operating Systems
+Scheduling
+Graphics
