Late submission for any component may result in 1% grade reduction for the whole project per 0.01-24 hours being late. Submissions after the presentation slides due time will not be accepted (respected component receives zero points). Process:
• This is teamwork but each student must submit a copy of all documents. Each team of 3 students selected will work together to complete the project
• Team composition will be provided via the respective assignment. One team member will be assigned as the team lead with responsibilities to ensure that teamwork is taking place in a timely manner and versions of documents to submit are synchronized amongst members
• A link to the public dataset to be used by each team needs to be submitted by the team lead, or a delegate by its due time by adding the link to the chatroom under NYU Classes. The same dataset

cannot be used by more than one team. If the link has already been entered in the chat room a different dataset must be selected: add your link soon to reserve a dataset
• Each student submits the same copy of all materials listed below that the team worked on (only one of these student submissions will be selected randomly and used for grading the whole team)
• The top right section of each page of the writeup must include the name of the student(s) who worked on that page. The amount and quality of work completed by each student will be used to increase or reduce individual grading
• Google groups is suggested to be used for collaboration.
