MTHM507 Communicating Data Science

CA2: Written Coursework Assignment: A written report on individual analysis and clear writing, length of about 4000 words (equivalent to about 8 pages of text. Contributes 60% to the final grade). Set in w/c 27th Feb and this is due in on Thur   30th March by 5pm.

The CA2 report is an individually written scientific report whose aim is to communicate some more recent developments in science linked to data sciences Oceans and general climate themes. Your assignment task:

Explain a key issue (including using analysis methodsfrom the course) covering the data science topics of climatic extremes, ocean plankton or another health status aspect of the earth system. Explain with some analysis what the current state of the system is, discuss the remaining uncertainties, their reasons, andpropose a data sciences approach to address them.

Some ADSS guidance: This is a very broad topic – so choosing how to focus is important. A lot of data and data science analysis/products are deployed to assess these questions and themes. Please include in this an introduction framing that discusses the latest and contemporary literature. This is a four-week task – so keep the analysis realistic and focus on writing a clear and concise report. Please note the CA2 report needs to be you own written and analysed work. Take this opportunity to introduce ideas you may have and to talk about these clearly.

The task and general assessment criteria for MTHM507 (for both assignments) are given on ELE:

Content: (50%) Does the report/presentation accurately address the question as set, given constraints on the format of the assignment? Does the report/presentation connect the material to an appropriate level of analysis and/or scientific detail for the theme? If part of a larger team presentation, how do complementary team collaboration's help build this and does this bring new angles to the question?

Structure and presentation/delivery: (30%) Is the report/presentation clearly and correctly formatted and structured? Have the authors attempted to use the structure and presentation to emphasise the content? Are any sections, slides, diagrams or figures unnecessary or confusing? For a report: are references and captions included and correctly presented where appropriate? For a presentation: does it engage the audience? Is the delivery clear, audible and well-paced?

Ambition and originality: (20%) Does the report/presentation explore anything that is maybe unusual but still highly relevant to the remit of the assignment? Is there evidence of intellectual curiosity and originality?
