MS&E 125

📝 Assignment 6

Due date: Wednesday, May 29 at midnight Pacific time (i.e., 1 minute after 11:59pm).

Unless otherwise stated, assignments are to be done individually. You are welcome to work with others to master the principles and approaches used to solve the homework problems, but the work you turn in should be your own.

This assignment has not been seen by a previous cohort of MS&E 125 students, so there may be some unforeseen hiccups. If anything seems confusing or unclear, post on Ed.

We will use this Ed post to track errors and clarifications on HW5.

📮 Submission

Submit your assignment via Gradescope.

  • For the Google Colab submission, run all of your cells using the Run all command in the Runtime menu. Then, download your completed Google Colab notebook as an .ipynb file. Finally, use this website to convert your .ipynb file to .pdf format.

  • Proofread the PDF to make sure all of your answers and plots are visible and not cut off. Missing answers will not receive credit, and cannot be submitted beyond the slip day deadline.

  • If your PDF is really long, it is possible that your code is printing out the entire dataset or a really long vector. Please make sure to comment out any code that prints more information than each question asks you for.

  • Issues converting to .pdf? Make sure there are no error messages in the outputs after you run all cells. Please do not use any special characters in the filename of the .ipynb file that you upload.

Submit your Colab PDF to Gradescope. Make sure to tag your answers properly on Gradescope, or else you may be docked points.

The project check-in submission should be emailed directly to your project mentor.

  • Only one team member has to send the email.
  • Please CC all of your project team members.

Complete the HW6 Lab Notebook.

🗒️ Project Check-In (30% of the assignment grade)

This check in is a one page, single-spaced, standard font+margin memo that summarizes and contextualizes the key results that you have generated so far.

  • Make sure that your memo incorporates the feedback provided by the teaching staff on your first check in submission.

  • Your memo should contain two embedded plots of a reasonable size. The plots can either have dedicated captions, or you can refer to the plots in the memo text.

Note: If you are collecting your own data for the project using a survey, you should submit a preliminary analysis of the results you have received thus far.

The project check-in submission should be emailed directly to your project mentor.
