Final Project

Final Project

Develop an overview of a proposed or hypothetical project including: data types, sources, and collection instruments; selected analysis methods and tools; initial and exploratory findings and visualizations. In Week 5, you will receive peer feedback and initiate discussion around our projects.

• Use what media is most comfortable for you. Thank about what output would be most useful to you in your work. Some example might be…
  • A 5-6 slide deck is good if your are thinking of making a public proposal of your project.
  • A 1-2 page double-spaced write-up is great if you need to submit and written proposal or woud like to do some initial writing for a scholarly paper.
  • An audio/video recording such as a screen cast narrating you walking through a tool and exploring whether or not it’s meet your research needs may be useful for those testing and learning new tools.
