The main criteria for grading a project will be the originality of the idea/problem and complexity of methods, concepts and techniques used.

Students are highly encouraged to use the Jupyter(Ipython Notebook) option for submission and to include interactive graphics in their submission. Please check out tools like mpld3 or Bokeh for creating interactive plots in Jupyter. Students are also expected to give a brief presentation to the class about their project.
