Course Grade

Your course grade is based on your rank in the class, which is mostly
determined by your project performance and class participation.
The course is designed to maximize learning and practice through the use
of many take home assignments and exams, with plenty of time for
answering questions, and you are free to get help from other students and
the Tas/CAs. As such, most students should do similarly well on these
aspects of the course. Again, the differentiating focus for your grade is
placed on project performance and class participation.
Remember, getting help is different than plagiarism. Students that
plagiarize will fail the course.

Project Case Study

Project:
A real-world data mining project (problem statement, data,
methodology/algorithm), software, execution and analysis, references,
documentation, and presentation). The problem statement, sample
data, relevant methodology/algorithm).

Case Study:
A case study from literature/books, prepare and deliver a
comprehensive presentation including, problem statement (‘profound
question’), data source(s), methodology, data mining, result,
suggestions for future work, and references.

11
Project Performance Measurements

• The novelty of the project idea(s).

• Techniques used.

• Comparison of the results of the above techniques applied to the data.

• Uniqueness of the data source(s). For example, UCI data gets lower

ranking

• Additional techniques extending those studied in the class

• Quality of the presentation material and presentations.

• Timing/sequence of the presentation. (Week1 vs Week2)
