Course wiki for INFO319: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 16:11, 15 November 2022

This wiki (under development) contains practical information about INFO319 - Big Data in the autumn of 2022, including readings and exercises.

Readings: Mandatory and supplementary readings for the course. In addition, the sessions page proposes specific readings for each session.
Sessions: The course comprises 8 full-day seminars. The sessions involve lectures, demos, student presentations, and practical work.
Exercises: Exercises related to the sessions. Solutions to the exercises can form the backbone of the mandatory group assignment.
Assessment: The course assessment has three parts:
- Portfolio evaluation of the essay and group assignment (55%)
- Oral presentations of essay and group assignment (15%)
- Written exam (3 hours) (30%)
Essay: One part of the portfolio evaluation is "an individual, theoretical essay with thoughtful research and discussion of an assigned topic".
Project: Another part of the portfolio evaluation is a "practical assignment in groups" that has the form of a group programming project. Solutions to the suggested exercises can form the backbone of your project.
Participation: Participation in 80% of the course seminars is mandatory. Participation in the two last sessions is also mandatory (because your presentations there are part of the course assessment).
Administration: For formal and administrative information, see UiB's Study Portal.
