Overview: A substantial portion of this course consists of the completion of two large programming projects. These will involve using and modifying existing Java programs to perform various IR and web search tasks. If you do not already know Java, you will be expected to learn it on your own. You will work in groups of 3 to 4 people. As part of each project, each group must submit a brief summary of the contributions of each group member. This summary, along with the code, must be submitted in a zip file to be placed in the course dropoff directory.
