This project is a 15-minute asynchronous online lesson designed to introduce fundamental concepts in Causal Inference to undergraduate students with no prior coursework. Developed as a requirement for the GS750 course (fulfilling CCT requirements), the lesson focuses on:
- Defining Causal Inference and distinguishing between correlation and causation.
- Identifying the characteristics and importance of Randomized Experiments.
- Executing a basic difference-in-means calculation to estimate treatment effects.
- Employing best practices for skimmable, high-impact online content delivery.
