FIT5197: Rubric for Assignment 1
Use this rubric to determine what you need to do in the assignment to get the highest marks. This assignment covers the lecture and tutorial material up to, and including, week 8 with a focus on:
● Maximum Likelihood Estimation
● Central Limit Theorem
● Confidence Interval
● Hypothesis testing
This assignment is worth 30% of the final grade and addresses the following unit learning outcomes:
● Perform. exploratory data analysis with descriptive statistics on given datasets.
● Construct models for inferential statistical analysis.
● Perform. fundamental random sampling, simulation and hypothesis testing for required scenarios.
● Implement a model for data analysis through programming and scripting.
● Interpret results for a variety of models.

Coding
quality/struct ure/elegance/ Visualisation
|
|
● Some errors, code does not run, full of warnings
● No comments
● Inefficient/ lengthy
syntax (e.g. too many unnecessary for loops, copy and pasting code instead of using
functions)
● Computationally inefficient (runs forever)
● No appropriate
indenting of code to improve readability
● Number of decimal places used for final answers does not
correspond to what was requested in the assignment
● Excessive use of “hard coding” (embedding
data directly into the source code of a
program or other
executable object, as opposed to obtaining the data from external sources or generating it at runtime).
|
● Code runs, error free, warning free
● Concise syntax
● The redundant or
unnecessary code is
excluded from the final submission.
● Computationally efficient
● Detailed comments
● Appropriate use of
indenting to make code more readable
● Number of decimal
places used for final
answers matches what was requested in the
assignment
● Minimal, if any use of “hard coding” - loads data from external
sources or passes
data/variables into
functions rather than creating the variable inside the function
again.
