Homework

This is a tentative list and they may change. Each homework will become valid the week it goes out.

We will be turning them in and grading them via Gradescope on Blackboard. Note that you can only submit one PDF per homework so you will need to concatenate multiple pages together into a single PDF document before uploading.

Normally CS 424 has a fair amount of in-class work, rather than homework, so many of these assignments are detailed in the lectures, but this is a central location to help keep track of them.


All are due Friday at 9pm Chicago Time unless stated differently in the HW description itself.

Week 1 Homework

Week 1 has three homework assignments.

1. One page with a variety of initial visualizations of the Titanic data.

2. One page on recoloring the H1N1 US Map taking population into account.

3. Create a public web page, which we will use to host your documentation on the course projects and presentations. Please create a landing page where in future you can add links to a number of other pages. At minimum this page should have your name, and 'CS 424 Spring 2021'. One place to start, if you don't have a public website already, is people.uic.edu (https://people.uic.edu/). You can use UIC's VPN (http://accc.uic.edu/service/vpn) along with 2 factor authentication (https://accc.uic.edu/tag/anyconnect) to mount this directory on your personal computer for ease of moving files around (smb://<yourID>.people.uic.edu/). You can use any other hosting service you wish (e.g. Google), but these pages must be publicly viewable by everyone in the class at least until the end of the course. You can use any publicly available templates as long as you cite them, or create your own.

Give in the URL of your web page on page 3 of your submission.
