Frequently Asked Questions

How does grading work? Your course grade is based entirely on your final project - there are no exams, homework assignments, or other submissions. This course offers an opportunity to explore the field of data science, and what you gain from it depends on the effort and creativity you invest in your project throughout the quarter. I am always available to guide you toward interesting areas and will regularly share resources in our Slack community, but making the most of this opportunity is your responsibility.

When is the project due? The project is due at 11:59 PM PST on March 20th. You will lose access to your student repo immediately after the deadline.
