As part of your assessment, you will submit a written Human Computer Interactionproject worth 40% of your  final mark. This document sets out the main aspects of this project.

The aim of the project is to integrate the learning from the entire module in the service of  conducting your own exploration of the determinants of pay gaps. The data to use for this study is the extract of Understanding Society. A reminder: our project dataset differs from our lab dataset. Make sure you are  looking at the right one

You will decide what source pay gaps you will examine (this is your ‘research question’), and  then conduct an appropriate data analysis and writeup.

You are encouraged to start working on your project early in the semester. It is extremely hard to  do well on this project at the last minute, as it requires some contemplation. It is as least as much  about ‘thinking’ as about ‘doing’, especially since you will have easy access to all the Jamovi tools you will need, through the labs and homework assignments (and associated solutions). You  are being assessed chiefly on your thoughtfulness in drawing meaning from numbers.

Although this is an individual assignment, you are more than welcome to work with a fellow  student on specific parts. Specifically, you may work together on writing Jamovi syntax and  thinking through the analytical choices you make. However, your written report must be entirely yours.

You are strongly encouraged to attend office hours to get help on your project, or to ask for  support from the Quant Skills Tutor.

Note also that, in the scheduled lab session in Week 12, we will run a ‘surgery’ where you can  get targeted assistance.
