Sharing assignments in OpenClass
OpenClass is on a mission to improve & democratize education. Through our platform, educators can share assignments privately or with our entire community to improve accessibility of the best learning resources around the world.
Our assignments guide students through research-backed study sessions to reinforce learning. If this review is relevant to your teachings, feel free to add it to one of your classes!
Our format is simple and engaging: students are asked a retrieval question, then shown corrective feedback and a multiple-choice mastery question to assess their understanding of the material. Assignments adapt to unique student needs and continue to draw questions until a student has demonstrated mastery.
fMRI processing can be divided into two categories: preprocessing and analysis. How are they different?
What are the advantages of fMRIprep over other fMRI processing tools?
How do you install fMRIprep?
When you run fMRIprep, what directories does it create?

(Student response here)
## Easy to Use
- It is BIDS-compliant and containerized.
- Very little installation or manual parameter setting is required.
## Highly adaptable
- It adapts preprocessing steps to the dataset, thus providing the best possible results independent of scanner make, acquisition parameters, or the presence of additional correction scans (i.e., field maps).
- You can provide custom templates to normalize the brains if you have a special population.
- You can also provide masks for focal lesions (strokes, tumors, resections) if necessary.
- Because fmriprep provides a variety of volumetric and surface-based output options, it is analysis-agnostic.
## Transparent
- Automation should not prevent you from understanding the methods.
- fMRIPrep self-documents by providing a boilerplate description of the processing invoked for the dataset.
- In addition, visual reports generated for each participant help researchers decide which ones to keep for group-level analysis.
- fmriprep also provides good online documentation via Read-the-docs.
Which of the following is NOT an advantage of fMRIprep (There are 3 correct responses)
It completes the analysis for you
It does not require you to install a bunch of separate software packages on your computer.
It is reproducible, well documented, and automated
It is really fast
It does not require a lot of computational resources
