{\bf Evaluation criteria:}
Each project has three elements that are graded: (i) the code,
(ii) the slides/figures, and (iii) the presentation.
\vspace{1ex}
{\bf Dates:}
The {\bf code} and the {\bf presentation} should be uploaded to
ILIAS at latest on Thursday, February 9th, 12:59h. We will
store all presentations on one computer to allow fast
transitions between talks. The presentations start on Thursday,
February 9th at 1:00h c.t..
\vspace{1ex}
{\bf Files:}
Please hand in your presentation as a pdf file. Bundle
everything (the pdf, the code, and the data) into a {\em single}
zip-file.
\vspace{1ex}
{\bf Code:}
The {\bf code} should be executable without any further
adjustments from our side. A single \texttt{main.m} script
should coordinate the analysis by calling functions and
sub-scripts and should produce the {\em same} figures
(\texttt{saveas()}-function, pdf or png format) that you use in
your slides. The code should be properly commented and
comprehensible by a third person (use proper and consistent
variable and function names).
\vspace{1ex}
\emph{Please write your name and matriculation number as a
comment at the top of the \texttt{main.m} script.}
\vspace{1ex}
{\bf Presentation:}
The {\bf presentation} should be {\em at most} 10min long and be
held in English. In the presentation you should (i) briefly
describe the problem, (ii) present figures introducing, showing,
and discussing your results, and (iii) explain how you solved
the problem algorithmically (don't show your entire code). All
data-related figures you show in the presentation should 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!
