Instructions

The outputs of this coursework will be:

  • A 20 minute group presentation/demonstration to be given during the week commencing 2015-05-05 (5th of May) followed by 10 minutes for questions.
  • All relevant files (code, presentation, notes etc…), websites, demo materials etc should be passed to Joanna Emery or Vincent Knight on or before the 2015-05-08.

Coursework

As a group you are required to present an aspect of R and/or SAS that is not present in the notes. The presentation should be viewed as a teaching presentation and here are some potential examples:

  • Demonstrating how to use a particular aspect of R and/or SAS (an R package for example);
  • Explaining certain technical aspects of R and/or SAS (for example if the Program Data Vector had not been explained in class this would have been a potential subject);
  • Solving a particular problem using R and/or SAS using techniques not specifically looked at.

You are not constrained by the use of slides (although you are welcome to). Feel free to be imaginative.

On selection of a topic, it is advisable to ask Vincent Knight whether or not it is suitable.

Marking criteria:

  • Difficulty: [30]
  • Accuracy: [30]
  • Originality: [20]
  • Presentation/demonstration: [20]
