This page outlines some example projects that past students have done. You can use these as examples of what an overall strong project looks like, but you should not copy the analyses or parts of the report in any way for your final project. We recommend that you do not use the datasets outlined here to make sure your analysis is your own. However, if you really want to use one of these datasets please talk to the course staff about how you plan to make your analysis significantly different than the one shown in these examples.
