General Guidelines
You will need to remind us about the project, but only tell us what we really need to know. We may be curious about the results, but they are not the purpose of this presentation. So, what should you include? We’re interested in what you learned in the context of your project that has made you a better applied statistician/data scientist. Depending on your project, you may want to address some of the following:
- What made the project difficult?
- What made the project easy?
- What did you learn about data collection?
- What did you learn about statistical communication?
- What did you learn about statistical methods?
- What useful rules-of-thumb did you learn?
- What kind of creative thinking was needed to turn the data or research questions into something that you could analyze?
- From the beginning of the course until now, what has changed in how you view statistical work?
