Projects

This is a public project orientation. If a project is assigned, the official prompt, due dates, submission instructions, rubric, and grading all live in Blackboard. This page offers general orientation only.

A course project asks you to apply the course’s core habit: read the data, identify the design, summarize the evidence, interpret the uncertainty, and make a responsible claim. Expect the emphasis to be on interpretation and communication rather than advanced computation — no R, coding, or advanced analysis is required unless the instructor states otherwise in Blackboard.

A good project-style statistical claim answers six questions:

1. What question is being asked?
2. What data were collected, and from whom?
3. What variables are involved?
4. What summary, comparison, model, interval, or p-value is relevant?
5. What uncertainty or limitation matters?
6. What claim can we responsibly make?
