-=== Grading ===+Your grade for this course will be based only on the assignments, most of which will require the submission of an ipython notebook that includes text descriptions of your methods, results and conclusions and the python code for defining machine learning algorithms, loading data and applying your algorithms to the data.  Each notebook will be graded for correct implementation and results, interesting and thorough discussion, and good organization, grammar and spelling.  No quizzes or exams will be given.
  
-Your grade for this course will be based only on the assignments, most of which will be written reports and submitted Python code. Each written report will require you to implement and run a machine learning algorithm and to write the report on your methods, results and conclusions. You must use python for the implementation and latex to make the report. Each report will be graded for correct implementation and results, interesting and thorough discussion, and good organization, grammar and spelling. Submitted code will be run and tested for correct functioning. +We plan for five regular assignments during the semester. In total these will count for 80% of your semester grade. The final assignment is a project designed by you and is worth 20% of your semester grade. This 20% will be composed of
