The mini-project is carried out in groups of 3 to 4 students.

Instructions

The instructions are available here. The training data set is available here. The test dataset for which you are supposed to submit the predictions is available here.

In order to make sure that your predictions are in the right format you can use the following python script: check-predictions.py. You can either run the script from the command line or copy the code into a jupyter notebook running e.g. on colab. If you are unable to run the script please make sure manually that your submitted file conforms the expected format as described in the instructions.

Peer Review

Important: Read the whole instructions for the peer-review before you start adding comments.

The peer-review is done individually and is anonymous. The review is done by filling out grades in the rubric (SV bedömningsmatris) of the mini-project and by adding text comments. For text comments that belong to a certain question in the mini-project report, use the text box of the corresponding criteria in the rubric. For general comments on the report, you can also in addition use the general text box. For the requirements to pass the peer-review please refer to section 7 in the instructions (see above).

You find your peer-review assignment in the right menu on the page mini-project report. If you have trouble finding the assigned peer-review, try the steps suggested here. When you have found your peer-review assignment, click the Show Rubric link in the upper right corner to show the rubric. You enter the grades by clicking on one of the boxes for each criterion and use the box to the right to enter a comment for that criteria. If you have trouble finding the rubric for the peer-review assignment, see the instructions here.

Additionally, the following issues have been identified regarding the peer-review system in Studium using rubrics:

If you have partially filled in the rubric, pressing the button "Save" will actually submit the review.
If you have filled part of the Rubric, after pressing the button "Save", it is no longer possible to edit the Rubric grades. (see the final post here: https://community.canvaslms.com/thread/20738-can-a-student-redo-a-peer-review (Links to an external site.) )
The only way to fix problem 2, is for the teachers to delete the review and assign it again.

Given the current limitations of the peer-review systems, please write your review elsewhere and wait until the end to fill in the rubric with its comments and grades, and fill it in a single attempt.
