Week 6
Start with your goal: more data wrangling
Announcements
- If you haven’t already, please sign up for your function of the week presentation.
- Please limit presentations to 3 per week.
- Link to sign-up sheet is posted on Sakai.
- The Midterm is now posted in Dropbox. It is due Sunday 2/23/25.
- Please start early on this since finding a suitable dataset might take some time.
- We encourage you to meet with either of us to discuss your research question and data to make sure you are on the right track.
Reminder to fill out post-class surveys
- This is a reminder that 5% of your grade is based on filling out post-class surveys as a way of telling us that you came to class and engaged with the material for that week.
- You only need to fill out 5 surveys (of the 10 class sessions) for the full 5%. We encourage you to fill out as many surveys as possible to provide feedback on the class though.
- Please fill out surveys by 8 pm on Sunday evenings to guarantee that they will be counted. We usually download them some time on Sunday evening or Monday. If you turn it in before we download the responses, it will get counted.
