Two concrete examples of upper-level writing assignments in an algorithms course

This paper discusses two concrete examples of writing assignments given in conjunction with projects in an upper level undergraduate algorithms course. The first is a white-paper or experimental research paper that is designed to teach all aspects of the research writing process, including presenting results in both tabular and graphical form. The second is an annotated bibliography coupled with a survey paper with a central theme. Both assignments have been used successfully in two instances of teaching a third or fourth year level writing intensive course in algorithms.
