Proposal

  

From the syllabus:

For your final project, you must produce a 3-5 page report on a higher education topic of interest. The report should be a combination of writing, tables, and figures, have minimal citations (if any), and be fully reproducible with minimal effort. You must use data that is either publicly available or that can be shared with others (no IRB restrictions). Everyone will submit three preliminary assignments in addition to the final report.

This assignment represents the first of those three preliminary assignments.

For your final project proposal, I need the following in a cleanly formatted Markdown (.md) file:

  1. A paragraph describing your project:
    • What will you be predicting?
    • Why is it interesting?
  2. A description of where you will find this data.
  3. A few lines describing your dependent variable in detail. What is the nature of this outcome as a variable?
