Sociology: Data Science
Prompt:
Structurally, the elements I expect are:
- background information on your concept, I’d like some references
- Add reference materials to your background information
- your research question
- Add reference materials to your research question
- descriptions of quantifiable outcome variable(s) based on your concept
- descriptions of independent variables that you think would affect your outcome variable
- information on where you would acquire the data and how you would acquire it (survey, scraping, pre-made datasets, partnership with a group, integration of multiple datasets).
- I’d like for you to give examples of how you’d use the data acquisition and management tools we have learned to assist you in pulling together your project.
- Will you need to scrape data?
- Will you need to use a relational database to integrate multiple data sources?
- What would those tables look like?
- How would you go about doing integrating (remember you need to have the same observation level to link the data)?
YOU MUST:
- give concrete structure to your research question and variables
- provide information on how your input and output variables relate
- give detailS on how you will organize your disparate sources of data
- how you will use the tools we’ve learned to assist you, etc.
- tell me why you think this work will matter: how can answering your research question lead to change?
Rules:
- 12 point font (Times New Roman)
- MLA format
- Include work cited page
- Cite all sources
I already made an outline that I need you to follow. See attached for outline. Everything in ITALICS/HIGHLIGHTED is my notes to you and it clearly states exactly what I need you to add. Pay close attention to those.
