Instructions

  1. The objective of this activity is to learn the basics of Data Science through undertaking tasks and completing them within the given time.

  2. This would provide useful learning experiences through collaboration and team work.

3.Every week, a list of tasks would be posted and everyone is suggested to take up a task.

  1. Post the task number on the task list thread. Repetition is allowed only if the task list is exhausted. If the replies are very high, wait for me to post a new set of tasks.

  2. Wait for me to acknowledge your reply on the task list thread before you start to design the tutorial.

  3. A tutorial can be made in two ways- a) Writing a Article on Medium. b) Making a Youtube Video.

  4. Guidelines for making and posting the tutorial on the channel- a) Your article/video should be in Clear English Sentences and try to make it interesting.

b) Your post for the tutorial should contain three things in the same order- Activity Name, Task List Set Number, Task Number and the Link for the Article or Video that you have made.

c) Remember to keep the article reading time/ video length not more than 15 minutes.

d) Failure in following the guidelines will result in the reiteration of the task undertaken.

  1. The deadline for completing the tasks is exactly a week from the day the task list was posted unless otherwise stated.

  2. We now have a separate Youtube Brand Channel and Medium Publication named “UB Women Data Scholars”.

  3. All communication regarding to the above channels should be made on the Mail ID- “slwomenwhocode@gmail.com”.

  4. For uploading video tutorials on the Youtube Brand Channel, you can forward your request on the above Mail ID from your own Mail ID, mentioning your slack handle for identification. I will then grant you access to the channel as the Brand Manager. This will allow you to upload videos on the channel.

  5. Now same for the Medium Publication, you can forward your request on the above Mail ID from your own Mail ID, mentioning your slack handle for identification. I will then grant you access to the channel as the Writer. This will allow you to submit articles.

13.I strongly recommend everyone to provide feedback to the Writers/ Managers at Medium/Youtube so that the quality of the tutorials can be maintained.

Fill the Google Form (link) after your article is published on the Medium Publication. So that, the tutorial link you provide should be of the Medium Publication and not of your personal story.

Example of a correct link- https://medium.com/beginners-guide-to-data-science-world/visualizing_data Example of a incorrect link- https://medium.com/@swetha/cache-me-if-you-can-7f68788b9da2

  1. Please don’t send unnecessary requests for publishing article/video on the Publication/Channel unless you are allotted a tutorial topic in a task list. This would enable us, the moderators and the Udacity team to evaluate and manage your submissions in an efficient manner on a weekly basis.

  2. The requests would be accepted only in the given duration starting with the deadline of the previous task list to the deadline of the next task list.

  3. The permissions would be revoked for the concerned people after the deadline. They need to seek permission again in the upcoming task list, if any, to upload content again.

  4. Don’t forget to mention your signature(Full Name and Slack Handle) in the video description for Youtube Video or at the end of the Medium Story for proper identification and evaluation.
