Course Content
The Circle is all about projects. That's why we don't have a lot of content to share, but rather project guidelines and material. For Spring 2025, we aim to review the project ideas and enhance the structure of the project guidelines we share with the students.
Previous Projects
Previous Projects include Stack Overflow data and Twitter Data (Project Introduction).
The projects lacked a clear goal of what the students could achieve with it. This is what we want to improve for Spring 2025.
Project Framework
Project Requirements
Goal - Each project needs a clear, achievable goal - either a product to build or a specific problem to solve
Structure - Projects should be pre-structured, including deliverables, so that students clearly understand what to deliver
Dataset - Data sets must be pre-validated to ensure feasibility and quality
Project Guidelines
We aim to create project guidelines in a GitHub repo that include a structured project roadmap and a breakdown of the complex tasks into more manageable steps.
Guidelines should include:
Description
Technologies
Dataset
Deliverables
Evaluation Criteria
Plagiarism & AI
Resources

State of the Material
We are reviewing the projects together. We are aware that the material is not perfect. That's why we aim to constantly improve it. Please help us to improve it further! If something is unclear or missing - feel free to add it! Thanks for further improving the content - like this, the course grows stronger from semester to semester.
How do I share material with students?
We use Google Classroom to share material with the students. Please have a look here:
