Project Proposal
The project proposal will be about 1 page in length and include the following:
- Introduction to problem/question
- Links to inspiring examples: Include links and screenshots of a few (~3-5) example graphics found on the internet that convey what you want to do. Include a few sentences about why you selected each link.
- Proposed data sources: Be as specific as possible.
- Proposed methods: List the approach you will use. Don’t simply list packages, tell me what you will do with them.
- Expected results: Describe what you want to produce (graphics, analyses, etc.)
Finding good data takes time, and can take longer than the time to tidy your data. This task could easily take 3-6 hours to find the data you need for your project. After you find good data sources make sure to complete the remaining tasks.
