On February 16 a one page proposal outlining your project is due in class. In the proposal outline the hypothesis or hypotheses you will test, and identify the variables you will examine in the process. You need to be specific about your question, for whom you are doing this work and to whom you will communicate it. The report should demonstrate your understanding of the course material in the context of your chosen example. Quality, not quantity, will be valued.
Clear writing is essential.
Tables, graphs and statistical tests supporting your conclusion regarding your hypothesis must be included. You are not being asked to find evidence to support your hypothesis but rather to reveal whether the hypothesis is supported by the data set or not, using what you have learned. One page or less at the front of the memo giving your results. Describe your data source. Here is where you are interpreting what you have done for the client.
