You are required to write a research paper on your chosen dataset and research question.
Your paper should be structured the following way:
1. Introduction: introduce your question: Why is it important to research this in your chosen country?
2. Literature Review: review prior research on this matter. (You are not required to go into great depth here. At least 2 pages long)
3. Methodology: here you describe what you did on R Studio, e.g. which codes you used and how they worked. (logistics behind the codes)
4. Result section: Include tables, graphs and describe your findings (use your homework as guideline)
5. Discussion: Combine results with previous research. How does your finding surprise/ not surprise you? Does it differ/ not differ from other research?
6. References: end-text referencing; use only one style (at least 10!)
7. Appendix: all R-Studio commands
Guidelines:
- approximately 2, 000 words (points will be deducted if it is below 1.500 words): this number is excluding tables and graphs!
- Third person (except when analyzing data. E.g. you can say: I fail to reject.., or We fail to reject)
- Do not copy and paste tables from R- Studio. Create a table yourself! → best way is to screenshot tables/ graphs due to word count!
- Your paper should entail at least 3 different tables and 3 different graphs
- Entail a chi-squared test or t-test
- Detailed description of each variable in your final dataset
- Explain what you did with missing values: e.g. by how much did the sample size drop?
- View this paper as the main presentation of your knowledge gained in this class.
- Consider the format of your final paper; e.g. Do not have graphs and tables in a separate document.
