This is a semester long project, but without a timeline, it is hard to visualize whether or not I am actually on track. In attempt to keep on track, this is a vague idea of the tasks at hand each week. Note that although the semester is 16 weeks long, the project really has to be done in 13 weeks because the final three weeks of the semester are reserved for presentations, project defense and finalizing everything.
