Submission Instructions
All submission should be via Learning Central. The current electronic coursework
submission policy can be found at:
http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/currentstudents/ElectronicCourseworkSubmissionPolicy.pdf
Your submission should consist of a collection of code/documents used to analyse and
visualise your selected data, alongside a report detailing the process used.
Description Type Name

Any deviation from the submission instructions above (including the number and types of
files submitted) may result in a mark of zero for the assessment or question part.
Assignment
You are asked to carry out an analysis of a dataset(s) and to present your findings in the
form of a report and visualisation(s), along with a record of your analysis.
You should find one or more freely available dataset(s) on any topic, from a reliable source.
You may wish to choose something from data.gov.uk or ons.gov.uk for example.
You should then carry out an analysis of this data to determine what the data tells you
about its particular topic. You may wish to use different statistical methods to describe the
data set, or to infer what the data tells us in a wider context. You should then visualise your
data in a way that allows a user to understand the data and what the data shows about its
topic. You can use any language or tool you like to carry out both the analysis and the
visualisation, but all code used must be submitted as part of the coursework. For example,
you may wish to extract, transform and analyse the data using Python, and then create
visualisations using d3.js.
You should create a report of your process that includes a description of the data and your
visualisation(s). Alongside this you should document your analysis methods and the
procedure used to create your visualisation. This record should include a commentary of the
code used to extract/transform/analyse data and show the development of the resulting
visualisation(s), including any prototype or rejected visualisations/analyses. It should also
include a reflective evaluation of your finished analysis.
Important! It is expected that each student will choose a different dataset. Once you have
chosen your dataset(s) for analysis, you should complete the form at http://bit.ly/cmt212-
1819-cw2 with your selection to confirm it is a unique choice. Dataset allocation will be
done on a first-come, first-served basis, so do not delay, as another student may ‘claim’ the
dataset first! Data selection should be completed by 18th March at 5PM. Any data
redistribution as part of your submission must abide by the licence under which the data
was obtained.
