Assignment
Demonstrate your learning and earn a badge!
Submit work that showcases your new skills and a reflection on what you’re learning, plus feedback to others
Follow the process we’ve learned over these modules to do your own analysis, either: - On your own data, or - On one of the alternative datasets we provide
Include these six elements:
- Your research question ❓ What hypothesis/hypotheses are you testing?
- The answer 💡 to your research question. What conclusion(s) do you draw from your analysis?
- AIC-based evidence 🔢 to support your conclusion, for example a model comparison table
- Density estimate(s) 🎯 with confidence intervals, from your best model or averaged across all models
- A brief reflection 🤔, for example on your next step, a challenge you overcame, a problem you’re still trying to solve, or a leap of understanding you experienced
- Give feedback 👍 to one or more of your coursemates - see below
Feedback guide
Peer feedback
To encourage you to share ideas and expertise, this assignment includes a social aspect where you give feedback
Ensure your feedback is positive, and involves some practical advice or a probing question. The aim is to help everyone extend their skills, consider different approaches, or decide their next steps
For example, you might offer:
- A suggestion for a way to improve what they’d done, or extend their work
- An alternative method of achieving the same or similar result
- A solution to one of their challenges or next steps
- A question about why they did something a certain way or how they achieved a certain effect
- Enquiry into what they plan next, or how this moves them forward
Make questions specific!
Generic questions that could be directed to anyone on the course don’t count! 😉
Demonstrate that you’ve thought about their particular situation or piece of work
