This is the start of the template below:
Research Project Title¶
Student Name 1:: ____________________
Student Name 2: ____________________
Summary of research questions¶
Give a numbered list of 3 or more research questions and a brief description of what you will investigate. Each research question should have 1–3 sentences and propose something that can be definitively answered, not just a general topic or area of investigation.
Motivation¶
In one or two paragraphs, expand on your research questions by providing context about why you care, or why anyone should care. How does knowing the answers affect the world or our understanding of it?
Schedule¶
You will delivery your initial project schedule. Link to your schedule spreadsheet will go here. You must share or include the spreadsheet from your GitHub project.
Datasets¶
This is the MOST important part of this document. (more details below) You will do the following:
Describe the real, existing dataset that you will use, including exact URLs.
You may not use a dataset that has been used in a previous CSE 163 assignment, AP Research work, or competition (TSA, FBLA).
The data must be real — neither you nor someone else may make up the data.
The data must be large enough (500 lines or more).
You need to list out all your datasets, sources, caveats, important columns, data values, and relevant information. This section should contain multiple tables or other easy to read formats. While you may copy some information from your datasource, it is critical that you understand the data.
You should:
List all datasets
List important columns from each dataset
Examine challenges with the data
See the Dataset Example for more details.
Challenge goals¶
Select at least 2 challenge goals that you are planning to meet.
Justify why you think this challenge goal is a good fit for your project.
