Homework

  • “individual” means: Everybody does the task on their own and uploads an individual report/result.
  • “group” means: The working group submits a joint document.
  • “collaborative” means: Everybody contributes to a single joint online document, or the group makes a joint decision.

Homework 1 (collaborative; 5 min each)

Can I trust the quality of product (when I do not have access to all information)?

Take the strategies from both buyers and sellers from the “Used Car Exercise” and transfer them to scientific publications as the product of which the quality should be checked. Maybe not all strategies can be transferred, and probably not all possible strategies do exist yet. Be creative!

Example:

Used Cars Scientific publications
Do a test drive to check whether the claim of the seller (“no noise”) is correct Do a reproduction to check whether the claim of the authors is (numerically) correct

Do this in the collaborative Etherpad in Moodle.

Homework 2 (individual)

  • Create an ORCID ID. Use your real name. You can use “Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München” as affiliation.
  • Create an OSF account. Use your real name; link your ORCID ID.
  • Create a GitHub account. You can use your real name or any pseudonym.

Homework 3 (collaborative)

Decide which study we want to replicate.
