What you will learn
- Submit reproducible research materials
- Present demo execution records
- Defend limitations and negative results
- Write a maintenance and retirement plan
Submit reproducible research materials
Submit a reproducibility package with report, data references, code or formulas, configuration and run instructions. Include a small shareable verification dataset where appropriate. Respect licensing and avoid including credentials or unnecessary personal data.
Present demo execution records
Present demo execution records separately from research simulations, with reconciliation and limitations. A passing knowledge exam does not independently validate these artifacts; use the provided rubric for self-review or an actual named reviewer.
Defend limitations and negative results
Defend limitations and negative results alongside successes. List unresolved issues with their practical impact. A completion certificate should not be represented as a guarantee of profitability or professional authorization.
Write a maintenance and retirement plan
Write a maintenance and retirement plan for any procedure proposed for continued use. Include monitoring assumptions, version review and conditions for returning to research. Preserve the record even if the candidate is abandoned.
Worked example
A learner completes all quizzes but submits no reproducible project materials. Quiz completion is evidence of those answers, not evidence that the practical capstone has been independently assessed.
Try it yourself
Use the four-part rubric to review your package and identify the weakest criterion. Write a bounded remediation task before claiming the project is ready for review.
Show the worked solution
Assess concepts, calculations/data, process/risk controls and communication against the actual artifacts. Name missing evidence and correct it. Do not award yourself an independent review merely by checking a completion box.
Apply this to your course project
Submit code or rules, evidence, risk plan, demo logs and an independent critique.
Keep the calculation inputs, assumptions and decisions with your work. Practical exercises are self-reviewed; the scored knowledge checks assess the questions shown, not an independent certification of practical competence.
