Instructions

In Homework 2 we will continue our focus on Baltimore but you will need to identify, develop, and answer a question on your own, using data. You will be free to choose a question of your own interest, subject to the following constraints:

  • The question you are asking should be Baltimore-related, or specifically relevant to the residents of Baltimore.

  • The question should be answerable with data. In other words, there should be an underlying hypothesis that is falsifiable with observed data.

You will need to meet with the course faculty to discuss your proposed question of interest before going ahead and completing the analysis. The primary purpose of this meeting is to ensure that the question being addressed satisfies the requirements and that the scope of your question is appropriate for the timeframe available to do the analysis. Please use the signup sheet to setup a meeting.
