Make the notebook run top to bottom
A submission should not depend on hidden state from cells executed out of order. Restart-and-run-all is the simplest reproducibility test for Jupyter work.
Jupyter Notebook assignment support with clean code cells, markdown explanations, outputs, charts, and submission-ready formatting. This page focuses on the methods, files, checks, and submission issues that are specific to this subject rather than repeating a generic data science workflow.
Share the exact brief so the method and deliverables follow the course rather than a generic template.
Students often begin with an experimental notebook full of trial cells. The final version should be reorganised into purpose-driven sections, remove failed experiments, explain the method in markdown, preserve only useful outputs, and run correctly from the first cell to the last.
The final working file should make each transformation or calculation traceable. A marker should be able to follow the order of operations and see how the output answers the brief.
These steps are technical checkpoints, not a one-size-fits-all order. The exact brief always takes priority.
Keep evidence for this step in the code, output, comments, or short written explanation so it can be reviewed later.

The points below focus on the technical decisions that are specific to this subject.
A submission should not depend on hidden state from cells executed out of order. Restart-and-run-all is the simplest reproducibility test for Jupyter work.
Headings, short method notes, interpretations, and conclusions help a marker understand the logic between code cells. Markdown is not decoration; it connects the computation to the assignment question.
Duplicate cells, long debug output, unused imports, warnings that were never investigated, and abandoned plots make a notebook look unfinished. Keep only the evidence needed to support the final analysis.
HTML or PDF exports can differ from the live notebook. Students should check page breaks, chart size, table width, math rendering, and whether outputs remain visible in the format requested by the course.
The course brief should decide the environment. Switching to a different tool only because it is familiar can make an otherwise correct solution unsuitable for submission.
Answers are kept specific to this page so students can check requirements, method, files, and limitations without reading repeated site-wide text.
It confirms that the notebook does not depend on hidden state or an earlier execution order and that every required import and variable is present.
Yes. Final notebooks should keep the evidence needed for the assignment and remove abandoned experiments, repeated output, and unresolved errors.
Yes, if the environment supports the requested format. The export should be checked for clipped charts, missing output, or layout issues.
Yes. The brief and rubric should be shared before work begins so the required tool, output format, method, and file structure can be followed.
Reasonable corrections can be reviewed against the original brief. A new dataset, method, analysis section, or changed requirement may be a separate scope.
Send the assignment brief, dataset, deadline, tool requirement, and grading rubric. A clear quote can be shared after reviewing the exact task.
