How to use this draft
- This draft doubles as the “Research Overview Document” submitted for each lab meeting. You do not need to prepare a separate discussion document.
- For unwritten parts, write
TODO: ...explicitly so that it is always clear at a glance which parts are filled in and which are still blank.- Feel free to adjust the chapter structure to fit your research. The structure below is one typical example.
- Update this draft before each meeting. Old versions are preserved through Git history, so there is no need to keep separate copies.
