There should be 2 separate file for assessment 1/2/3 and 3/4/5.
The final assessment will be to submit and then summarize and present the important part of research report.
Step 1: Find Research Report
You must find and submit a scholarly research report that you will present for your final assessment. This report needs to be scholarly in scope, not a newspaper article, Wikipedia entry or something similar. An acceptable report will have graphs and descriptive statistics, should be an observational study or an experiment, and should have estimations and/or hypothesis tests.
The research must be have either confidence intervals or hypothesis tests or both. Here are examples:
Research Report with confidence intervals
Research Report with hypothesis tests (look for p-values)
Here is a list of websites that will help you find research reports. You want to focus on the millions of possible open access reports where you can download a pdf file:

Step 2: Submit Research Report
Use the submit button to upload a pdf file of your research.
The report was must be unique; if another student has already chosen the same report, I will ask you to submit another report.
Choose something that’s interesting to you and submit it as soon as you can, but before the deadline. You can resubmit this assignment if I don’t accept the report, so earlier is better.
You must wait until I approve your research before going to Step 3
Step 3: Select a time for your final assessment
Once your research report has been accepted, you can choose the time slot to present your summary and analysis here.
If you have to reschedule, please let me know as soon as possible since there will be limited days.

Submission of this portion of the assignment will be reduced 2 points per week late, and reduced further if the report does not meet the meet the criteria of an acceptable research report.
