Notes

This module was adapted from the original TIEE module (Global Temperature Change in the 21st Century) to emphasize linear regression, comparison of multiple models, and analysis in R. In particular, I developed a packet for the exercise that included background from the original TIEE module, warm-up questions, and questions associated with the modeling exercise that guided students through the analysis, required them to make inference on their regression output including a comparison of slopes across models, and guided exploration of the implications of their findings. I also developed an R script to accompany the exercise that provided examples for students and also required students to write some of their own code.
