33 Peer review

The purpose of this is to help your peers produce a higher quality final project and to ensure that the tutorial is easy to follow and results in a reproducible analysis. Recall that this peer review is worth 15% of your final grade on the project. On or before the due date (May 5), please upload the peer review that you completed to Canvas and email it to the authors (with me cc’ed on it). If your project was completed in a group, each group member needs to conduct their own peer review.

For the peer review, please answer the following questions.

1. Name of the student(s) whose project you are reviewing?

2. Please write at least one paragraph (e.g., 4-6 sentences) summarizing the study. What was the purpose of the study? What methods did they use? What did they find after conducting the analysis?

3. Please provide comments about the final report. These comments could be related to something you didn’t understand, a technical error, or something that could be explained better. A thorough review would likely have more than ten comments.

4. Please review the tutorial. Are the results of the study reproducible? Are there any areas that need improvement?
