=== A3: Final project plan === For this assignment, you will write up a study plan for your final class project. The goal of this project is for you to apply what you have learned about data science studies to understanding and improving data science practice in an organizational context. The plan will cover a variety of details about your final project. Specifically your plan should: * Identify the organization that you will work with, and your contact there. * Summarize what you already know about this organization and how they use data science. * Identify a research question that you don't already know the answer to, but where project can realistically help you answer it. This should be specific and tied to a particular aspect of how data science is practiced or is used in this organization. Effective research questions will often raise issues or problems with the organization. * Outline your plan to collect qualitative data. Will you conduct interviews? Who with? What questions will you ask? Will you conduct workplace observations? * Explain what results you expect or intend, and most importantly, why your project is interesting or important (and to whom, besides yourself). A reasonable amount of data collection for this project is about 4 30 minutes interviews with different team members, about 4 hours of workplace observation, or an equivalent combination of interviews and observation. Maximum length: 1500 words. ==== Evaluation and Rubric ==== :''Organization and identification:'' 20% :''Summary of what you already know:'' 20% :''Research question:'' 20% :''Data collection plan:'' 20% :''Anticipated results and their significance:'' 20%
