Samples of Student/Mentee Work

Below are some samples of exceptional student and mentee work:

Graduate students:

• Stats lab homework assignment: A sample set of exercises designed to provide students with practice modifying SAS syntax, running analyses, and reporting findings in the appropriate form.
• Stats lab group project:  Students work in small groups to conceive and design a novel research project, generate “ideal” data, select and carry out all appropriate statistical analyses, and cogently report their findings to their classmates.  Students were encouraged to use imagination in deriving a research question.  In the following stellar example, students analyzed the efficacy of various strategies used in the course of the Hunger Games.
