Assignments
{please note: this information will be updated on a regular base}
Your final grade (Portfolio-Prüfung) is based on three contributions:
- your lab participation (10% of the final grade)
- a poster presentation (30% of the final grade), and
- a research paper report (60% of the final grade).
Lab Participation
- Participation in the lab in mandatory.
- One or more students will present the results of their homework at the beginning of each lab session.
- Only in week 1 you have to carry out homework. From week 2 you can work on your research project but tasks will be provided to guide you through the analysis process.
- Each student should present her/his homework at least once.
- Another possibility for participation are “lessons learned” or “tips and tricks” – what “aha”-effect did you have while solving the homework or working on your class project.
Data Analysis Project
- Every student will complete a data analysis project which consists of the analysis of a dataset.
- The goal is to apply practically the learned concepts and methods in a real setting. Please keep in mind, understanding the inner structure of the data and interpreting the results by considering the context of the data origin is the core of the project.
- Each student is encouraged to come up with original project proposals which may be inspired by the data sets shown on the following slides.
Poster presentation
- As part of your data analysis project, you will create a poster that summarizes your work in progress. The idea and intention is to reflect on the study procedure and the results.
- During the last week of class, students will present their posters.
- Our class sessions will function as research conferences, with student presenters reviewing poster content and answering questions as small groups of viewers visit their poster areas.
- Presenters will also collect viewer feedback on their research report.
- Additional information will be provided.
Reseach Report
- Report results in a research project description
