Assignment 1

Due: Thursday Sep 3rd at 2:50 pm ET

The goal of this assignment is to learn the principles of Open Science. For this purpose, you have to read the NASA Open Science 101 online course and complete all five modules. This used to be an online course that you could enroll at anytime and complete on NASA platform. Unfortunately, NASA has changed that and at this time you cannot enroll (more details here). So I have included the content of the course (which was published by NASA on Zenodo) here on the course website under the NASA Open Science 101 section.

For this assignment, you need to:

• Review contents of all the 5 modules. Note that each module has multiple lessons.

  • Overview

  • Module 1 - The Ethos of Open Science

  • Module 2 - Open Tools & Resources

  • Module 3 - Open Data

  • Module 4 - Open Code

  • Module 5 - Open Results

• Follow up in the class or office hour if you have any questions from these materials.

• Take a 15 min closed-book quiz in the class on Thu Sep 3rd. The quiz will have questions only from the NASA course that you are reviewing in this assignment.

• The grade from this quiz will be allocated as your Assignment 1 grade.
