Workshop

In this week's workshop you will begin on your group projects. This will be the first exploration stage for the project start. It is crucial to finalize the your groups during this week's workshop.

Group Assignments

For checking the group you joined so far, please see the details from below link and let us know if you see any issues about the allocation. If you have not joined any group so far, please talk with your tutor and find some peers to work together during the workshop session. We will create new groups based on these updates that we have.

In week 7, you will have the first 'check-in' discussion with a tutor. As such, it is highly recommended that you arrange a group meeting before the next workshop to discuss your data, perform some preliminary investigations and to think of a problem statement.

Below there is optional initial data viz exercises that you can explore, after project kick-off. You can work on those after the workshop still as extra exercise questions.
