Criteria for evaluating a project report

I got a question about what should be included in the review, so i would like to share the touch-points for the review, and they also cover the evaluation criteria for the project report.

• Clarity and organisation of the report
• The quality of the work (methods applied, correctness of usage of statistical techniques and terms, code)
• General logic of arguments
• Insights and critical thinking
• Did the project meet the goals, what could be the practical implications

Some updates on schedule and FAQs on project

By popular demand the lecture of 11.21 and defence of projects will be postponed to 11.28 and joined together with that lecture. I will be there from 17:15 in class 102 (but if you have lectures, we can start at 17:30) and finish at 21:00.

The people that had original 11.28 date for defence will be prioritised for preferred time.
