Hands-on workshop on teaching good practices in documenting data management and analysis
This day-long workshop is aimed at instructors of statistical methods courses in any of the social sciences. Faculty from Haverford, Bryn Mawr, and Swarthmore Colleges, as well as from other colleges and universities in the Philadelphia area, took part. We demonstrated how to assemble documentation for a variety of projects, starting with a very simple case and then addressing a variety of challenges that commonly arise. We allowed time for discussion of broader conceptual and pedagogical issues related to documentation and replicability of empirical research.
