If delivered as a semester-long course, we suggest the following lesson plan.

Notes to self on structure

• part: “Part I: Learning to Simulate” chapters: - chapters/1_required_skills.qmd # week 1 homework - chapters/2_foundation_concepts.qmd # week 1 ian - chapters/3_writing_functions.qmd # week 1 jamie - chapters/4_data_generating_process_functions.qmd # week 2 - really about practicing writing functions, summarizing and plotting - ian - chapters/5_analysis_functions.qmd # week 3 - practice writing functions again, more/less flexible/reusable - jamie - chapters/6_creating_simulation_experiments.qmd # week 4, if it includes Siepe’s study on designs - chapters/7_mapping.qmd # week 4 - nested dfs needs explaining. - chapters/8_summarizing_results.qmd # week 5 - chapters/9_planning_and_reporting.qmd # come back to this after substantive chapter 1 - week 7?, Siepe paper, assessing performance (MC SE), etc. Diagnostics on already run simulations, go in and check specific iterations, run manually etc. # maybe add sth here on parallelisation and optimisation, eg dropping the nested datasets and using a helper function to use pmap() more directly and efficiently? - chapters/10_simulation_template.qmd # week 5, ‘putting it all together’; skip to substantive chapter 1?

  • part: “Part II: Learning from Simulations” chapters: # whatever chapter comes next, lay out the final assignment here # substantive chapter 1 - week 5/6
