Unit 14 — Project presentations and peer feedback
Wednesday 2 December 2026, 12:30–16:00
Project presentations and peer feedback take place in room 8846-3305.
Connect experimental design, simulation, analysis and interpretation through four group presentations. Explain what your study supports and how you would plan a better follow-up experiment. Peer review is formative; final assessment requirements and submission deadlines will be confirmed separately.
Open the instructor-supplied Posit Cloud project for 14-project-presentations. All files are already provided in its project root. Session slides Preparation slides
Build on Unit 13: your reviewed report, revised follow-up design and rehearsal. Use the presentation brief, six-slide outline and checklist. All three group members contribute to an 8-minute presentation with 5 minutes for questions. Keep an offline copy of the report, figure and slides.
Use one outcome, one main comparison, one main figure, one justified sensitivity comparison and a prospective follow-up simulation under two assumptions. Clearly label supplied data as synthetic teaching examples and distinguish paper context from your analysed results. Preparation refines existing work rather than adding a new analysis assignment.
| Time | Activity |
|---|---|
| 12:30–12:40 | Format and formative feedback criteria |
| 12:40–13:10 | Two presentations: 8-minute talk + 5-minute questions + 2-minute transition each |
| 13:10–13:40 | Structured feedback and shared design/interpretation issues |
| 13:40–13:55 | Break |
| 13:55–14:25 | Two further presentations using the same format |
| 14:25–14:55 | Feedback and cross-project discussion |
| 14:55–15:10 | Break |
| 15:10–15:40 | Adapt one aspect of the follow-up experiment |
| 15:40–16:00 | Individual reflection, course feedback and closing |
Follow presentation and peer feedback, then design challenge and reflection. Four groups of three review one another’s evidence and make a feasible revision.
No additional heavy assignment is set for this unit. Retain your reproducible report, feedback and revised design note for future reference. Any formal final assessment arrangements will be communicated separately.
