Assignments

Students are expected to complete the following assignments as part of the course (percentage of final grade in parentheses):

Class participation (25%): We will use class time to work through lesson modules together. Students are expected to follow along with the presentation and run code on their own machine. Students are also expected to answer questions and work through example problems throughout the class session.
Problem sets (50%): Every lesson module will end with a set of questions that students must answer. Students can work together to solve the problem sets, but everyone must submit their own work and do their best to give accurate attribution for borrowed/repurposed code. In general, problem set answers will need to be submitted via GitHub a week after they are assigned.
Reproducible report (25%): Students 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, and be fully reproducible with minimal effort. Students must use publicly available data.
