- This is your project assignment. Please read the instructions before starting your work.
- Do not understand the assignment as an exhaustive TODO list, rather the questions below are hints that are meant to guide you and allow for a smoother start. Do not feel limited by the questions; we want to see you diving into it.
+ This is your specific project assignment. The project applies
+ topics from the course on real or simulated data, or is about
+ concepts we haven't covered yet. Work yourself into the data and
+ the topic and in the end present your insights to your fellow
+ students. The instructions to your project are meant as a guide to
+ get you started, but feel free to come up with own ideas. Do not
+ feel limited by the questions. We want to see you diving into it.
+ Do not hesitate to contact us for help on problems and to discuss
+ your ideas.

Happy hacking!

\textbf{Evaluation criteria:}
-
- You can view the evaluation criteria on the
- \emph{SciCompScoreSheet.pdf} on Ilias.
-
- \vspace{1ex}
- \textbf{Dates:}
-
- The code and the presentation must be uploaded to ILIAS
- \textbf{at latest on Sunday, February 21st, 2021, 23:59h}. We
- will store all presentations on one computer to allow for fast
- transitions between talks.
-
- The presentations are on Monday February 22nd, 09:30--12:00, Tuesday
- February 23rd, 9:30--11:00 and Wednesday 24th, 09:30--12:00.
-
- \vspace{1ex}
- \textbf{Files:}
-
- \textbf{Hand in your presentation as a pdf file.} Bundle everything (the
- pdf, the code, and the data) into a {\em single} zip-file named with your last name.
-
- \textbf{Hint:} create the zip file you want to upload, unpack it
- somewhere else on your computer and check if your main script is still running properly.
-
- \vspace{1ex}
- \textbf{Code:}
-
- The code must be executable without any further adjustments from
- our side. (Test it!) A single \texttt{main.m} script coordinates
- the analysis by calling functions and/or sub-scripts (see Box 1.10 in chapter 1) which produce
- the {\em same} figures (\texttt{saveas()}-function, pdf or png
- format) that you use in your slides (your code can also generate
- additional figures). The code must be comprehensible by a third
- person (use proper and consistent variable and function names, see chapter 4).
- \textbf{Hint:} Find out what RTFM means and act accordingly ;). You can also always try to google your problems.
-
- \vspace{1ex}
-
- \emph{Please note your name and matriculation number as a
- comment at the top of the \texttt{main.m} script.}
-
-
- \vspace{1ex}
- \textbf{Presentation:}
-
- The presentation should be {\em at most} 10\,min long and be held
- in English. In the presentation you should present figures
- introducing, explaining, showing, and discussing your data,
- methods, and results. All data-related figures shown in the
- presentation must be produced by your program --- no editing
- or labeling by PowerPoint or other software. It is always a good
- idea to illustrate the problem with basic plots of the
- raw-data. Make sure the axis labels are large enough!
+ For your grade we mainly evaluate the technical aspects of your
+ code and figures. You can view the evaluation criteria in
+ \emph{SciCompScoreSheet.pdf} on Ilias.
