5. Students deliverables
You will work on your own preferred research topics. They have to be relevant to the general class topic (i.e. Data Analysis), but do not need to refer strictly to topics from the lectures.

- class presentations = week 7, week 8, week 9, week 10
- the reports presentation schedule is published and updated on the UBB Sharepoint platform
Second report - Experimental
- deadline for setting the title = week 9 (class day)
- class presentations = week 11, week 12, week 13, week 14
