Full detail list on course website

Limits

  • Submitted by Friday, December 18th. 2015
  • 750 words (sharp!)
  • Three (3) figures. To avoid "cheating", the definition of a figure this time is changed to "an object that comes out of a single matplotlib.figure". You create a new matplotlib.figure everytime:
    • You call any seaborn function and do not append the output into an axis ax
    • You set up a new canvas using plt.subplots

Submission

  • Turnitin
  • Do not submit raw notebook this time
  • Instead, submit an HTML version (from a running notebook, you can convert it into html in File  →  Download as  →  HTML)
  • Make sure the HTML page renders correctly independently (e.g. copy it to a different folder and open it on a browser to see all the elements are there as you would expect)

Marking guide

  • Minimum requirements are basic
  • Including some of the suggestions is positively valued
  • Routes that are not suggested but go beyond what is suggested is even better
  • Creativity counts: doing what is suggested exactly the way it's been taught is OK but going the extra mile is valued

Help

  • Unless it's strictly personal, please post to the forum (faster answer)
  • You are most encouraged to not only ask but to respond as well
  • Feel free to run by me ideas in Lab time
