Final Project Checklist

Students often ask for a rubric. You can use this checklist to help guide your thinking on the final project. If you check off all the boxes below, you should be in good shape to get a perfect score on your final project.

Overview, Question & Background

Overview:

  • Briefly describe the results of your project
  • Limit overview to 3-4 sentences

Research Question:

  • Include a specific, clear data science question
  • Make sure what you're measuring (variables) to answer the question is clear

Background & Prior Work:

  • Include a general introduction to your topic
  • Include explanation of what work has been done previously
  • Include citations or links to previous work

Dataset(s):

  • Include an explanation of dataset(s) used (i.e. features/variables included, number of observations, information in dataset)
  • Source included (if outside dataset(s) being used)

Data Analysis:

Data Cleaning & Pre-processing

  • Dataset actually clean and usable after data wrangling steps carried out

Data Visualization:

  • Include at least three visualizations
  • Clearly label all axes on plots
  • Type of all plots appropriate given data displayed
  • Interpretation of each visualization included in the text

Data Analysis & Results:

  • EDA carried out with explanations of what was done and interpretations of output included
  • Appropriate analysis performed
  • Output of analysis interpreted and interpretation included in notebook

Privacy/Ethics Considerations:

  • Thoughtful discussion of ethical concerns included
  • Ethical concerns consider the whole data science process (question asked, data collected, data being used, the bias in data, analysis, post-analysis, etc.)
  • How your group handled bias/ethical concerns clearly described

Conclusion & Discussion:

  • Clear conclusion (answer to the question being asked) and discussion of results
  • Limitations of analysis discussed
  • Does not ramble on beyond providing necessary information

Video:

  • Question asked is clear to listeners
  • Effective visualizations presented
  • Clear explanations throughout
  • Take home message clear
  • Within 3-5 min time limit

Final Checks:

  • Edit all text for clarity
  • Remove all instructions
  • Be sure text included throughout to guide reader
  • Check to make sure all text and images are visible
  • Names included
  • Renamed file : FinalProject_groupXXX-Fa22.ipynb, where 'XXX' is replaced by your group's group number

After the course is done:

  • If you checked YES to make project public: the final project notebook (and only that!) will be placed in a repo with the rest of this quarters public reports. This helps future students by providing examples!
  • Your projct repo will remain available to you in the near future. We cannot guarentee that will always be the case. That repo will never be public.
  • If you would like your own copy of the entire repo you should follow these instructions: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/duplicating-a-repository Once you have done that it is yours forever. You will also be able to control access to the mirror (make it public or private as you would prefer)
