Abstract
How can we teach replications and reproducibility without evoking the replication police? Is it possible to replicate others' work without becoming personal? And what are the implications for students doing replications? This talk introduces the idea of constructive replications, how to do them in the classroom, and pitfalls to avoid. It builds on the fundamental idea that students should learn replications as a positive and constructive way to build on previous work, following the golden rule: Replicate others as you would like to be replicated yourself.
