Comments

Please carefully review the tentative final project grading rubric

Basically I will be looking for projects that involve (among other things):

• constant improvement (e.g., work every week)
• team effort
• clear reasoning that is carefully and comprehensively documented
• questions that are motivated and well formulated
• methods that are appropriate for those questions
• code that is modular, readable, comprehensively tested, and well organized
• results that are relevant and directly related to the methods
• conclusions that justified by the work (i.e., they should be limited and specific)

Moreover, everything you do must be reproducible. I will need to be able to issue a few commands to download all the relevant data, that runs your analysis, and that generates all your plots, tables, and other results.

Remember

• If you have questions about your projects, there should be a pull request with code or text and use @jarrodmillman, @matthew-brett, @rossbar, andor @jbpoline
• Most of your code should be written as a collection of functions with tests, then use scripts calling these functions to perform your analysis
