該主題須要繳交一份學期報告，佔25%的成績，題目只要跟物理冶金有關，但多少都要跟課堂上教的內容有關。假如有你對選擇的題目有問題的話請問我。
The subject requires a term paper, which accounts for 25% of your grade. The paper can be on anything in physical metallurgy, which I consider to be more or less defined as the coverage in the text. If you have doubts about your choice, please ask me.

報告頁數約8到12頁，以兩倍行高打字且附加圖表不限。格式如下：
The paper is to be about 8-12 double-spaced typewritten pages long plus as many figures as you want. The format is to be:

摘要
Abstract
導論
Introduction
討論
Discussion
結論
Conclusions
參考文獻
Bibliography

圖表，且附予標題(如果你希望，圖表與標題可與文字穿插)
Figures, with captions (Figures and captions may be cut into text, if you wish)

A1紙張寫下報告大綱，於下課前交。我會很快地給予意見。務必精確客觀，避免流於廣泛且太過籠統。
A 1-page outline describing what you intend to do in your paper is due in class. I will get my comments back to you instantly. Please focus fairly sharply, rather than giving a broad overview.

此單頁報告是為了防止且避免你嘗試長篇大論的學期報告。
The one pager is for your own protection, to keep you from attempting too massive a term paper.

報告在課堂上交。
The paper is due in class.
