9.3 Draft Handout

Using either a word processor (either Microsoft Word or Apple Pages), RMarkdown, or LaTeX, produce a handout that is clearly laid out and simple to follow. At the draft stage, you should have already identified the organizational strategy you will use for your handout. The handout you submit should therefore be indicative of how you plan to lay out your handout.

At the draft stage, presentations should include as a minimum:

1. A title block that contains your title slide information (presentation title, name, date, etc.),
2. an abstract that summarizes your research question and hypothesis,
3. a descriptive statistics table, and
4. a few key citations.

These four elements should fit on the front side of an 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper.

Your draft will be graded using the “check” system outlined in the syllabus.
