Hi everyone,

For assignment 7 I'm wondering if we have to do some new analysis using our research data. I've written code for other analyses before but they wouldn't have been for this assignment specifically. It could be hard for me to come up with something new within a week (though not impossible).

Also, do you have any policy on using Copilots for this course? I assume that for assignments it should be no but for normal research coding I am starting to use Copilot/ChatGPT/Gemini. On that note if you have any thoughts on AI-assisted coding I think that would be cool too. smile

Appreciate the course and instruction very much.

Thanks,

Robert

You may use analyses that you've done before, that was not originally for the assignment. What we're asking for should not be too difficult: do a hypothesis test, fit a model, do a classification. It doesn't need to be scientifically significant, we just want you to demonstrate that you can import your data into R or Python and can start working with it.

AI-assisted coding can be helpful, but I'm still suspicious of it. Make sure you understand the code that it generates, and confirm that it works as expected!
