P.S. I do not consider running a data set through Weka to be significant progress. Significant progress requires some added value that you contribute and that holds promise of  yielding additional results by the end of finals week. This may involve some way of looking at the data that you developed and that may provide some insight into underlying patterns or structures. For example, if you are working with the Connect-4 data set you might write code that looks for patterns in the data and determines whether the existence of those patterns predicts a win.  We talked about some possible patterns two weeks ago.  Other things you might do involves combining multiple data sets, e.g., by using using Google Refine, or displaying a data set using Google Chart Tools in a way that suggests questions that aren't obvious from just looking at the raw numbers. 

I'd consider running a data set through Weka, a C level project. It's not failing, but it's not especially creative or interesting either. If you do no more than that, you should finish that work by next Sunday.

The course grade will be computed using these weights.

Homework 1, 2, 3: 11% each (total: 33%)
Midterm 1, 2: 20% each (total: 40%)
Project: 27%                                              
Total: 100%

There will be no final.
