Key learning goals:
- Get more comfortable and understand more ways to keep/organize data —> I will do this by logging each experiment differently (pie chart, bar chart, scatter plot, linear equations, etc.)
- See if these experiments can be useful in a broader economic setting and think of creative ways to implement these strategies into marketing
- Expand my general knowledge of economic and more specifically behavioral economics —> I will do this through my podcasts (Freakonomics, circular economics, behavior economics in marketing, etc) and documentries
To make up 30 hours each will I’ll work 7 hours on Mondays and Tuesdays, 6 hours on Wednesdays, and 5 hours on Thursdays and Fridays. On Mondays, I will listen to three podcast episodes and make summary videos for each episode, write up consent forms for the experiment that week, research and find examples of the logging method I will use, and practice the experiment/make sure I have everything set up. Tuesdays will be experiment days and time to take notes on the process throughout. On Wednesdays, I will enter all the data to my computer, log it in the format I researched that Monday, listen to two podcast episodes and make summary videos. On Thursdays, I will write an explanation for the week’s experiment (how it went, what I was hoping to prove, results, and logging/ data analysis explanation) and format is to fit in the final presentation. On Fridays I will edit what I put in the final presentation, turn all my video summaries of podcast episodes into written paragraphs and watch one of the 6 economics documentaries I selected for the course of the project.
