Work on your methodology and results for peer-review in lab tomorrow!
For a great final project that earns the highest marks, you should focus on:
Why is your project interesting? Be sure to motivate why you chose the research question you did.
Tell a cohesive story. How do the methods help you answer your question? Do the results and methods match? Do you address limitations of your chosen methods in the discussion?
Defend your modeling choices. E.g. Why do you use logistic regression instead of linear regression? Why is a hypothesis test appropriate in this context? Why do you examine the variables that you do to answer the question?
Are there any useful insights you glean from the data? E.g. some variables are input incorrectly, some observations are duplicated, etc.
Is your written report professionally formatted?
No code, nice kable() tables, labeled plots, describe any
ambiguous terms from the data set, intuitive variable names used (not
ill-formatted column names!), professional citation format (e.g. pasting
APA, MLA, or using Bibtex like we talked about in class)
Be consistent. E.g. use one background color for all slides, try to re-use plot colors when possible, etc.
Limit the text on each slide. If a slide can be all picture and no text, even better!
Including slide number in the corner is a nice touch, but avoid keeping a running total (e.g. slide 3/6).
Write a script of exactly what you want to say for your first two or three sentences.
Allocate approximately 1-2 minutes per slide.
Don’t go over the presentation time limit (10 minutes!) There is no minimum presentation time, but there is a maximum.
