Creating a report
Continue with the research question you had chosen in class.
Use AI iteratively to help you create a report.
Important
- AI is your assistant, use it as input not as output. Don’t submit an AI-generated report as such, always author, review, edit.
Tasks
Option A (easy)
- Think in terms of two variables (\(x\) and \(y\)).
- Pick a single variable or a combined index of variables
- Pick a GDP variable
- Think about a causal link.
- Create one carefully designed graph to illustrate the relationship (Graph 1)
- At each step, explain your choices/decisions (ie why you chose a certain variable)
- Create a Conclusion paragraph where you summarize your work and results in 80-100 words.
Option B (advanced)
- In addition to the tasks in Option A, create another graph to show heterogeneity of country size groups using population (Graph 2)
- Run a regression and interpret the coefficient.
To submit
- Submission 1: Submit a maximum 1-1.5 page report in .pdf format (including exhibits) (lastname_firstname_dawai_week03_report.pdf) (12p)
- Submission 2: Submit your code (or aprovide a link). (4p)
- Submission 3: What advice would you give to a fellow data analysis student on using AI to create a report? (lastname_firstname_dawai_week01_advice.txt) (4p)
- List 2–3 pieces of advice based on your own experience using AI for this specific task.
Important:
- Upload your report to the
student folder called Reports
at moodle or similar service if applicable. This is for the next class - Important: Do not use AI to help you generate the advice. We want to hear your personal examples and reflections, not AI-generated suggestions.
- Next class in the first 20 mins each group will read another groups report and discuss the good and bad aspects of the report.
