Homework 17

For your final project, you will be working with a dataset of your own choosing to personalize your computing education. Remember, you have some freedom to choose a dataset related to your major.

At this point, you must:

1. Review the list of existing and potential datasets here
2. Choose one dataset that you'd like to work with (it can be a potential dataset)
3. Write some questions that you think might be interesting to ask about such data.

You will be expected to use this dataset for your final project. However, the questions you write are still formative - you will probably change them later after you've received your dataset. We want you to start thinking about what kind of questions you will want to ask. Notice that this is an iterative process!

If you have any problems or questions, please contact Cory (acbart@vt.edu) instead of your TA. This needs to be completed in a timely fashion, so that we have time to prepare the dataset before your final project starts. Don't be afraid to talk to Cory about finding a dataset if none of the existing ones suit you.
