GGR274H1 Final Project Proposal#

Due date: March 8, 23:59#

Submission instructions#

To submit your work for the proposal, please download your notebook from JupyterHub and submit it to MarkUs under the project-proposal assignment.

Instructions#

  • Each student must submit a project proposal. This proposal, and the project, will be completed individually.

  • Your TA is aiming to give you feedback during Lab 09. (If you haven’t received the feedback, you can go to one of our office hour sections to get your personal feedback.)

  • The goal of the proposal is NOT to work out every detail around your presentation plans and analysis, but to ensure that the question is feasible and that you have a work plan.

  • Another goal is for the teaching team to be able to give you feedback with enough time to incorporate the feedback. Although, we view this as the start of the conversation between you and your teaching team.

  • Read the instructions for the final project.

Grading#

  • The five sections below will be graded as:
