Milestone 3 - Exploration

🎯 Objectives

By the end of this milestone, you should :

  • Have extended your literature review with more peer-reviewed research.
  • Started preliminary data analysis of your project using ANES 2024.
  • Visualized your dependent (DV) and main independent variable (IV).

🧠 Tips for Success

  • Keep your research question in focus. Every element should relate directly to your DV and IV.
  • Identify your concepts precisely. Describe how they relate to one or multiple ANES 2024 variable names (e.g., V241043) and explain your measurement choices.
  • Explain your figures. Always write a short interpretation of what each visualization shows about your variable.

🧩 The Milestone

In this milestone, you will conduct a preliminary exploration of your project. This builds upon the previous milestones, incorporates any feedback received from the instructor until now, and includes basic data analysis and visualisations.

You need to :

  • Download the following typst template file : da-milestone3-group0.typ

    • Upload the document to Typst website.
    • Follow the instructions inside the newly uploaded typst document.
    • Use should use your Milestone 2 as a starting point. You can copy/paste and revise based on any feedback received.
  • Download the following notebook file : da-m3-notebook-group0.ipynb

    • Open the notebook in VS Code and follow the instructions in it.
    • You need to use this notebook to produce at two figures that you will integrate in the Typst file.
    • Keep the Python code used to produce the figures in the notebook.

You will move back and forth between Typst and the notebook as you refine your analysis.

💾 Submission Guidelines

  • Delete any instructions in the files before submitting your work.

  • Export the final typst, a rendered PDF and your notebook files:

    • da-milestone3-group0.typ
    • da-milestone3-group0.pdf
    • da-m3-notebook-group0.ipynb
  • Adjust the file names and keep them consistent so submissions stay organized.
