Introduction to Data Analytics – Announcements regarding the assignments
The deadline for submitting assignment 2 has been extended to 23:55 Hrs. IST on August 2, 2015(Sunday) and the deadline for submitting assignment 3 has been extended to 23:55 Hrs. IST on August 9, 2015(Sunday).
There are two main reasons for this. First, we have seen an extension in the registration date for the course to August 15th and we would like to give the late registrants the best chance possible to complete as many assignments as possible. Second, we have received feedback from many students that they find assignment 2 and 3 to be difficult. In order to help you further, we have also planned to have two short tutorial sessions in which we will discuss how to approach the assignment 2 and 3 problems . The tutorial videos will be released shortly. Since we allow multiple submissions this could benefit even those who have already submitted the assignments.
Finally, we have purposefully cancelled the assignment that was supposed to be released last Friday(24 July, 2015). This should help to reduce potential backlog and give you a chance to catch up. The next assignment will be released next Friday(31 July, 2015). Those who joined late and couldn't submit your assignments can watch the video lectures and try the assignments. You will get the scores only for those assignments that are submitted before the submission deadline.
The final score will be calculated by taking 50% of the certification exam score + 50% of the best n-2 assignment scores out of a total of n assignments.
Best wishes,
Nandan and Ravi.
