Abstract
This paper describes two types of Computer Science projects that students get involved with. It then proposes a monitoring system for projects. The proposed system has been developed and used in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Zimbabwe. The monitoring system involves (a) an effective reporting structure, namely end of task reports and fortnightly reports, (b) three oral presentations, (c) a final system demonstration. The monitoring system has been used for the past three years and has been found to be very effective.
