Main project grading rubrics
  1. Grading is subjective: Insight over charts/tables
  2. Rubrics are weighted according to appropriate project context
    For example, project where clustering is inappropriate and data fitting is critical, points move from data fitting to clustering
  3. + indicates: must have (if appropriate, see previous point)
    * indicates: extra points (desirable, but do not try to artificially introduce)

  1. data:
    1. + characterize: incomplete, uncertain, outliers
    2. + filter/scrape/clean (complexity gets * )
    3. * large data sets
    4. * streaming data sets
    5. + combine different data sets
  2. hypotheses
    1. + clearly stated
    2. + devise numerical experiment(s) to confirm or deny
    3. * causality vs correlation
  3. fit data
    1. + regression, MLE, learning (increasing points)
    2. * prediction
  4. other data science techniques
    1. + cluster data
    2. ...
  5. presentation.
    1. * engaging visual representation of data
    2. + conclusions
