Clearly, proving something that has already been proved cannot be original, but a programming project, building a robot, etc. are all original in some sense. Some courses of study lend themselves to original work sooner than others. | |

I have taught several math classes (regression, graph theory cryptography, coding theory) with a final project instead of a final exam. For some topics/courses, one is more appropriate than the other. Typically more applied or programming-oriented math courses are suitable for projects, even at the introductory level. | |
