Goals Today

• course evaluation: please provide honest feedback -- it's very helpful to me and the I School.
• I've graded everything that has been submitted, except the Baby Names notebook. Expect at least 10/20 if you've submitted a minimally functional notebook. I have to work through which ones have made good faith creative efforts in exploring the data.
• If you still plan to submit a tutorial notebook, you need talk to me about getting an extension past the deadline (which was on Monday.)
• presentations

Final Project Submission

bcourse assignement: Final Project Submission

Your final IPython notebook is due at the beginning of class on Day 29 (May 6, 2014). I would like both a digital and paper copy of your notebook/report.

In your report please include the following:

• a clear articulation of what problem you are solving with your project
• a clear description of what you proposed to do and what you ended up doing, describing what led you to go from what you proposed to what you ended up doing
• a thorough description of what is behind-the-scenes: what sources of data are you drawing from and how, how you are analyzing your data as well as the code to analyze your data.
• a clear description of your results and how to reproduce your results.
• if you were to continue your project beyond the course, what would you do
• a paragraph that outlines how you split the work among group members and which describes your individual contributions to the work.

Update the Project List with a link to your final project notebook.

If you have any slides or supplementary materials from your presentations, feel free to upload them here or point to the materials.

Open House

On the last day, we will host an Open Data Course Open House on May 6, 2013 from 2:15 to 3:30 pm in 202 South Hall. I've been inviting people from the I School and the larger community. Feel free to invite your friends to attend. Spread the word. Light refreshments will be served.
