Formative Assessment

Word Count and Deadline

Word count: 300-400 words.

Deadline: 18th November 2026

This optional formative assessment is an opportunity to receive feedback on your planned analyses for the summative portfolio.

Provide an outline with an overarching analysis focus and then for each analysis component: the analysis question it explores, the digital data using for the analysis, and the analytical approach that will be used.

Alongside this outline, include any relevant R code and/or descriptive account of manual methods using to collect, prepare, and analysis digital data. These can be work-in-progress and do not need to cover all preparation or analysis.

Feedback will focus on how well your analysis questions, digital data using, and analytical approaches align; whether your data management and analysis plans support the intended analyses; and, how you might develop these for the summative portfolio.
