See the syllabus for information on the final project. Here is an example from Chris Langer (a student at the University of Colorado). Chris did an outstanding job. Since I am also asking you to summarize an article and provide a brief review of context (a look at related work), I will look for something similar to Chris' paper, but less involved. The article that inspired Chris' paper is here.
About 15 pages is right for the paper. Roughly one-third of the paper should be dedicated to reviewing the journal article and providing some context. Remember that you will also have to prepare a 15 minute, conference-style talk.
Make sure to run your plan for your project by me before March 15. The paper is due by May 13, and the talks will be given during the last 5 days of class (or so). Talks will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis.
