(I'm spending this weekend grading my CSC 301 class.) * I realize that the preregistration numbers for CSC 161 are scary. I have not yet seen the prereg lists for CSC 161. I expect that we will be able to keep all first-year students and undeclared second-year students. ### Upcoming Work * [Writeup for class 33](../writeups/writeup33) due TONIGHT at 10:30 p.m. * Exercise 4b and 4c. * To: * Subject: CSC 151.01 Writeup 33 (YOUR NAMES) * Reading for Monday: [Searching](../readings/searching) * Project, Phase one for Monday. * Belated work: Epilogues.

Group work time --------------- * Today's class is devoted to time for you to work with your group on the project (finding data, deciding on what you want to do with it, sketching your code, planning your proposal, etc., etc.) * The mentors and I will wander around and do our best to provide advice. * After about five minutes, we'll ask you to share your basic goals/idea. ("We're not sure yet" is an acceptable response, although not an ideal one.) * Yes, we'll keep wandering after those first five minutes. ### Project topics * JG: Still deciding, but thinking about the predictive assignment. * No ideas: Two data sets. Causes of death and states. Focus on interesting visualization. ### Draft Proposal Rubric _The final one will be similar but points may differ slightly._ ``` PROPOSAL: 20 POINTS PROPOSAL FORM [5 points]: The proposal has the appropriate form. [ ] 5 The proposal includes all of the required components: a heading (with authors) and title, a short description of the project goals, a description of the data, a description of the algorithm or algorithms, and the intended, satisficing and reach outcomes. [ ] 4 The proposal is missing one component. [ ] 2 The proposal is missing two or more components. [ ] 0 No proposal PROPOSAL WRITING [5 points]: The proposal uses correct spelling, grammar, and style. [ ] 5 The proposal not only uses correct spelling and grammar, but also demonstrates particular facility with language. [ ] 4 The proposal uses correct spelling and grammar, with at most two or three errors. [ ] 2 The proposal does not use correct spelling and grammar. PROPOSAL DATA DESCRIPTION [5 points]: The proposal data description is complete and accurate. [ ] 5 The data description clearly indicates the source of the data, the form of the data, and the type and range of each data element. [ ] 4 The data secription clearly indicates the source and form of the data, but leaves some minor questions about the type or range of individual data elements. [ ] 3 The data description clearly indicates the source of the data but leaves questions about the form of the data or significant questions about the type and range of some data elements. [ ] 2 The data description leaves questions about the form of the data and about the type and range of some some data elements. [ ] 0 The data description does not indicate the source of the data. ALGORITHM DESCRIPTION [5 points]: The intent of one of the core algorithms is clear. The authors have described an approach to implementing the algorithm. [ ] 5 The inputs, outputs, purpose, and preconditions are clearly specified. There implementation description shows some reflection on possible approaches. [ ] 4 The inputs, output, and purpose are clearly specified. The implementation description shows some reflection on possible approaches. [ ] 3 Unclear purpose, inputs, or output or incomplete description. [ ] 0 Missing multiple components. ```
