Guidelines#

You should cover the causal roadmap up through the design step.
- Thus your presentation does not have to include any analysis, estimation, or interpretation of results.
Prior knowledge: provide a motivation and background for the problem.
- Think of yourself as a policymaker or scientist pitching the significance of your domain to the general public – why do we care about the causal question, and how can your study help us understand it?
Question: state your specific causal question and the associated causal quantity.
Design:
- Introduce your dataset and how it is connected to the causal question.
- Describe your study strategy and the relevant treatment, outcome, and covariate variables via your DAG.
- Explain the assumptions needed for your study design and how you are handling them in your project.
Wrap-up: Conclude with a brief forward-looking statement about what you hope to learn from your analysis and how it might inform future work in this domain.

Peer feedback#

During the presentations, you will give feedback to your classmates according to the following template:

Please provide one constructive point (though feel free to add more) for the two sections below. Your feedback will help the presenting group improve their final submission.

What I enjoyed#

Things you can consider:

Clear motivation
Interesting dataset
Creative study strategy for answering the causal question
