W: Reproducible reports\ We'll be working through this RMarkdown workshop, learning to create reproducible reports.
F: Version control\ We'll be walking through a git tutorial, which you will then turn in as Problem Set 1.
Problem Set 1 due Sunday
This whole week will be working through the tidyverse packages, specifically dplyr and tidyr. We'll be using this tutorial. The best reference for this material in longer form is Hadley Wickham and Garrett Grolemund's book, R for Data Scientists (R4DS), which is available free online.
M: The Tidyverse, 1
W: The Tidyverse, 2
F: Consolidating Tidyverse Skills In this section, we'll be working through additional data tidying practice.
Project proposal due Sunday

W: Measurement, Reliability, and Validity - slides\ Stevens (1946)\ Crohnbach & Meehl (1955), Construct Validity\ Optional: Krosnick & Presser (2010). Question and Questionnaire Design. This chapter is the resource for how to design individual questions in a questionnaire.
F: Experimental Design Practicum\ TAs will lead a discussion about design of experiments, reliability, and validity.
Problem Set 2 due Sunday
Make sure you have an MTurk requester account before class on Wednesday. You can also check out Prolific for an alternative.
M: Sampling - slides\ Rosenthal & Rosnow (1991), Sampling
W: Experiments 1: MTurk - slides\ Tom Hardwicke will introduce Problem Set #3, on computational reproducibility.\ In class, we'll be making an experiment on Mechanical Turk.\ Crump et al. (2013), Evaluating MTurk\ Wired article
