• Program 3 due Tuesday Nov 13
• Homework 2 out today, due Mon Nov 19
• Today: Discuss course project expectations and
ideas
Plug for Data Mining Course
• Next semester I’ll teach a course in Data Mining
– Tue – Thur, 5:30-6:45
• This (like databases) is a U/G course
• Currently Data Mining is a special topics course
but will be “regular” course soon
– You can use it for technical elective
• Focus is on data mining algorithms
• Prereqs: programming (351), calculus
– statistics / probabilities not required, but be prepared
to learn
Revised Grading Breakdown
• We are not going to have as many programs
and homework grade as I anticipated
– We’ll have 3 HWs + 3 programs
– Thus the % of total grade made up by HWs and
programs will drop
• Old breakdown: HW 20% programs 20%
project 10% midterm 20% final 30%
• New breakdown: 5 best HW and progs 7% each,
project 15%, midterm 20%, final 20%
Project Overview
• Course project is to be done in groups of 2-4
– Each person must contribute
– Final report describes roles of each member
– Grade will not necessarily be the same member.
• Involves learning, implementing and describing
• Project ideas on the web (we’ll go over them
today)

– Each person turn in piece of paper with:
• Your name
• Your group’s name
• List of the members of your group
• Very brief (one or two sentence) description of project topic
