=Term project and presentation=
Each student should independently complete a data analysis project using Python to demonstrate a phenomenon or answer a scientific question related to meteorology or climate. The student is free to choose his/her topic of interest and is fully responsible for finding and analyzing the data. 

'''However, to ensure success, each student must meet with the Instructor before November 15th to discuss his/her plan and data for the term project.'''

Each student will give a 10 to 15-minute presentation (length of time depending on the number of students) at the end of the semester. 

The term project and presentation will be graded with the following criteria:
* The relevance of phenomenon/scientific question (10%)
* The appropriateness of the data used and analysis methodology (30%)
* The degree to which the phenomenon/question is addressed by the data analysis (30%)
* Clarity of the presentation (30%)


=Resources for learning python=
Assignments and the term project require calculation and plotting using Python in Jupyter Notebooks. Python is a powerful programming language, while Jupyter Notebooks provide an easy, web-based way to combine code, plots, and descriptive text.

Students are encouraged to install Python and Jupyter using the popular Anaconda distribution. See our [[Python resources]] page for instructions. Students enrolled in this course will also be granted access to a SUSTech server running Jupyter, but this can only be used within the SUSTech network (but you can use a SUSTech VPN outside campus). Details will be announced in class.

If you are new to Python or to Jupyter, we recommend that you go through a few online tutorials. Check out our [[Python resources]] page.
