Project 1

Project

The zip file will be in the class Box folder in the Project folder. You will submit this as a group, similar to the group contract. This covers modules 1 through 3.

To work collaboratively, you can choose to use Google Colab. Put the file in your Google Drive and share it with your group. When you open the file, it will open in Google Colab. You all should be able to work on the notebook at the same time. However, working within the same cell may not work. You may notice that the file locations for the data are over the internet, rather than local. This change is to make working with Colab easier, which does not hold onto the data files between uses.

Group Contract

Project

To set expectations in the beginning your group will fill out a group contract.

  1. Go to the group contract template. Read and discuss as a group what you all will do.
  2. One of your group mates should click on this link to make a Google doc copy of the contract for your own group.
  3. Make sure all group mates can edit the Google doc and fill it out.
  4. Download a pdf of the group contract and submit it as a group to Gradescope.
    1. If you do not know how to add group members to an assignment, Gradescope has a help page for this.
