Assignments

There are two main forms of assignments in the SURE 2023 program, namely:

Some additional details on both are provided below.

Demo-labs

We also provide you demo-lab materials for you to test out your understanding of the course content. They are usually released once or twice a week, as per the schedule. Completing these demo-labs is strongly recommended to help you reinforce the material. There is no grading involved here, just learning. So don’t hesitate to reach out to your fellow peers, TA Advisors, and course instructors for help.

Research project deliverables

We reemphasize that the research project won’t be formally graded. However your three research deliverables will be presented by you to various important (executive) stakeholders in healthcare (Optum) and the sports (CMSAC) data science community.

So it is in your best interest to put your best foot forward, since it will be of great benefit for your future data science career!
