The Data Science Report is a written version of the project. Students are allowed to collaborate, but the final report must be written individually. Students are also allowed to “go beyond” what is presented by their groups.
The Data Science Report should include the following sections:
*Important Guidelines: These are guiding questions to help you craft the report. Your report should include each section mentioned above, however the narrative should flow and be coherent. Points will be deducted if you answer each question in a rigid manner. Students are encouraged to go beyond the guidelines provided.
Frequently Asked Questions
The group presentations are scheduled for the last day of class, Wednesday, October 17th. This class is mandatory for all students, and points will be deducted if you arrive to class late.
The final independent paper is due Friday, October 19thby 11:59PM. Late papers will not be accepted.
The professor has set aside the class on Monday, October 15th to answer any final questions, prepare for the group presentations and review any work. If you want a draft of your paper to be reviewed, you must send it via email (stephy.miller@gmail.com) to the professor by Friday, October 12th.
No, the final paper is to be written independently.The professor expects some commonalities in narratives and visuals within each group. For example, I expect for research questions to be the same across all group members.
You are required to collaborate with your group members, and to present the very best collective ideas during the presentation. However, I understand that there may be instances where group members will have different ideas and approaches to the assignments; if that is the case, be fully prepared to substantiate your differences. You are welcome to use your own approaches and ideas for the final paper, and you are free to include additional research questions, datasets, data analyses and insights, etc.
