+\centerline{\Large \bf Data Bootcamp:  Delivering Your Project}
+\centerline{Revised: \today}
+
+\section*{Overview}
+
+One of our goals is for you to produce a piece of work you can use to demonstrate your data and programming skills to potential employers. The end product should be posted on your GitHub account in a repository so that
+you can show others what you've done. You will also be able to see what your classmates have done.
+
+Below are the step by step details and format that I ask of you to post your project in. Not following these instructions exactly will result in a 10 percent reduction in your project score.
+
+\textbf{Due Date: Midnight, at the end of the day December 21st}
+
+\textbf{If you are working in a group, each individual must post the group project on their own GitHub site.} So if Jim and Mary are working together, then Jim posts the project on his site, Mary post the project on her site.
+
+\section*{Step by Step Instructions}
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+
+\item Create a repository on your GitHub site. This repository must be named:
+
+ {\tt Data\_Bootcamp\_Final\_Project}
+
+ \bigskip
+
+\item Populate the repository on your GitHub site with the following items:
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item A readme file (GitHub should populate a blank one for you), that has \textbf{very specific language} specified on the next page. I will not grade your project until this step is complete.
+
+\bigskip
+
+\item Your Jupyter Notebook. This should be titled in the following way:
+
+ {\tt Lastname\_Final\_Project.ipynb}
+
+\bigskip
+
+\item A .pdf file of your Jupyter Notebook. This should be titled in the following way:
+
+ {\tt Lastname\_Final\_Project.pdf}
+
+How to create this: Click on File/Print Preview/Print/ and then there you should be able to select ``Save as PDF''
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+\bigskip
+
+\item Email a a link to your repository to the NYU databootcamp email \href{mailto:[email protected]}{[email protected]}
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+All of this must be done prior to midnight, at the end of the day December 21st. Finally, \textbf{do not modify} your work after the 21st until you have recited a grade from me. After you have received a grade, you may treat the project as yours as continue to work on it as you like.
+
+\section*{The Readme File}
+
+The following text must populate your readme file:
+\bigskip
+\bigskip
+
+This project was completed by \textbf{insert full name here} in partial fulfilment of  ECON-UB.0232, Data Bootcamp, Fall 2017. I certify that the NYU Stern Honor Code applies to this project. In particular, I have:
+
+Clearly acknowledged the work and efforts of others when submitting written work as
+our own. The incorporation of the work of others--including but not limited to their ideas,
+data, creative expression, and direct quotations (which should be designated with quotation
+marks), or paraphrasing thereof-- has been fully and appropriately referenced using notations
+both in the text and the bibliography.
+
+And I understand that:
+
+Submitting the same or substantially similar work in multiple courses, either in the
+same semester or in a different semester, without the express approval of all instructors is
+strictly forbidden.
+
+I acknowledge that a failure to abide by NYU Stern Honor Code will result in a failing grade for the project and course.
+
+Project Description
+
+\textbf{Insert one paragraph description of your project}
+

+
+\section*{Grading}
+
+Projects will be graded on their overall quality.  This includes, but is not restricted to,
+these categories:
+%
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Quality of the idea.  Is the question clearly articulated?  Is it interesting?
+Does it have general appeal?
+\item Quality of the data.  Does the data support the idea?
+Is it the best data for this question?
+\item Quality of the code. Is the code readable? Could someone else understand what you were doing and why?
+\item Degree of difficulty.  Some ideas are harder than others to implement.
+As in Olympic diving, you get credit for taking on a challenge.
+\item Professional look.  Does your project look professional?  Are the graphs
+easy to understand?  Are they clearly labeled?
