This is a year-long writing-intensive course in Statistics taken by all graduating senior Statistics majors at UGA. In the Fall, students see topics that they don't always see in their regular coursework. In the middle of the semester, clients come to class and present their questions and data; then groups of 2-3 students are assigned a client with whom they will work for the remainder of the academic year. At the end of Fall, the "final report" is a first incomplete draft (introduction and preliminary exploratory data analysis) of their final Capstone report. In the Spring, students work in earnest on these projects. There is a strict schedule of drafts and oral progress reports each month. Students are expected to maintain contact with their clients as they complete their analysis. At the end of the semester, they produce a written report for the client (the final Capstone report), a poster presented at a departmental poster session, and a final presentation.

Would you like to translate data into actionable insight? In this project, students will use a data set and questions of interest provided by your organization to perform data exploration, visualization, statistical modelling, and inference to learn from your data. They will provide you with a summary of their findings and insights to answer your questions.

Do you want to gain insights thorough survey and analysis? Do you have questions that you would like to ask your clients or your service users? In this project, student teams will design a survey, distribute the survey, and analyze survey data. Surveys are a central methodology in research. Surveys allow the gathering of data from a large sample, and technology facilitates the dissemination of the survey as well as eases the collection and subsequent analysis of data. Data gathered can be used to inform policy development, evaluate program effectiveness, and identify specific needs and gaps. In this course, students will develop and administer a survey, use appropriate quantitative analytical techniques to analyze the data collected, and produce a final report.
