Detailed Grading Criteria
Methodological Integrity & Technical Execution
35%“The Engine”CriticalEvaluates the robustness and correctness of the data science pipeline. Measures the student's ability to justify and execute data preprocessing, feature engineering, algorithm selection, and validation strategies (e.g., handling class imbalance, preventing data leakage) suitable for high-stakes healthcare data.
Key Indicators
- •Justifies preprocessing decisions based on exploratory data analysis and distribution properties.
- •Constructs features that accurately operationalize clinical or domain-specific concepts.
- •Selects algorithms and hyperparameters aligned with data characteristics and problem constraints.
- •Implements validation strategies that strictly prevent data leakage between training and testing sets.
- •Mitigates high-stakes data challenges such as class imbalance, sparsity, or bias.
- •Evaluates model robustness using metrics appropriate for the specific healthcare context.
Grading Guidance
To progress from Level 1 to Level 2, the student must move from a disorganized or theoretically unsound approach to a recognizable data pipeline where basic steps like cleaning, splitting, and modeling are attempted, even if the rationale is generic or weak. The transition to Level 3 (Competence) hinges on technical correctness and safety; the student must demonstrate that the pipeline is free of critical flaws—specifically ensuring no data leakage occurs and that the algorithms chosen are fundamentally valid for the data type. This separates a functional thesis that produces trustworthy baselines from one that yields spurious results. Moving from Level 3 to Level 4 requires a shift from mere application to reasoned optimization. While a competent student applies standard methods correctly, a quality student justifies specific preprocessing choices (e.g., imputation methods) and hyperparameter tuning strategies based on the unique evidence found in the data. Finally, achieving Level 5 requires rigorous stress-testing and deep domain alignment. The work distinguishes itself by addressing complexity—such as sophisticated handling of extreme class imbalance, temporal dependencies, or population shifts—ensuring the technical execution meets the high reliability and reproducibility standards required for healthcare deployment.

Grading Guidance
Moving from Level 1 to Level 2 requires shifting focus from abstract data manipulation to acknowledging the specific healthcare setting; the student must attempt to link statistical outputs to patient concepts, even if the connection remains superficial. To cross the threshold into Level 3 (Competence), the student must accurately translate technical metrics into clinical terminology, demonstrating a functional understanding of why specific error types (e.g., false negatives in cancer screening) carry more weight than global accuracy, while also identifying standard ethical or privacy obligations. The leap from Level 3 to Level 4 involves a deeper synthesis of domain knowledge; the student no longer merely reports results but justifies data science decisions—such as sacrificing complexity for interpretability—based on specific clinical workflow needs and literature evidence. Finally, reaching Level 5 requires a sophisticated, professional-grade evaluation where the student critically assesses the solution's real-world viability, proactively mitigates systemic biases, and formulates actionable insights that are immediately relevant to clinical stakeholders.

- •Aligns conclusions directly with research questions and evidence presented.
- •Critiques specific limitations, biases, and failure modes of the chosen approach.
Grading Guidance
To progress from Level 1 to Level 2, the thesis must shift from a disjointed collection of statements to a basic logical structure; the student must demonstrate that the research question and the selected methodology are related, even if the literature review remains a descriptive list rather than an argument. Moving to Level 3 (Competence) requires establishing a cohesive narrative thread where hypotheses are clearly derived from prior work, and the methodology is explicitly chosen to test those hypotheses, eliminating major logical leaps between the problem statement and the execution. Elevating work from Level 3 to Level 4 involves a transition from compliance to critical engagement. The literature review must synthesize conflicting viewpoints to build a case, and the analysis of results must go beyond reporting numbers to explaining *why* they matter in the broader context. Finally, achieving Level 5 requires distinguished intellectual honesty and sophistication; the student must rigorously stress-test their own arguments, proactively identifying subtle biases, data leakage, or alternative explanations, thereby treating limitations as an integral part of the scientific discovery rather than a mandatory footnote.
