Some geneal comments

  - some reports made good use of section headings to organise the material.
  - some were missing full citation details for referenced articles.
  - regarding the purpose of the document, the reader should "recognise that
    computing science students (particularly those with some experience with
    algorithms) have the knowledge and skills that are needed to address this
    problem and implement a solution".  This was often left for the reader to
    infer from the content, rather than being explicitly addressed in the
    report.
  - take care not to paraphrase too much, and cite the original source
    whenever you quote or paraphrase.
  - some reports mention a "score" without indicating the kinds of terms that
    contribute to the score in this case.

Some further general comments might be added. Also, I indend to send individual comments on your work.
