Past Assignments

• Weekly Assignments
  • Check to see if your spreadsheet says “No Submission - Please Submit and Email Brianna (to pass the course, 8 out of 10 assignments must be turned in with some effort)”
• Tidy Tuesday (TT1 - TT5)
  • If you haven’t already, turn TT5 in ASAP
• Iterative Viz
  • You’ll get qualitative feedback (explicit ideas and suggestions on how to make it more effective)
  • You’ll work with the same dataset; you can adjust your research question
  • Your goal is to create a more effective visual that tells a story about that data

Q & A

Today

• Mini Project in groups of 2-3 people

Consider group roles:

• Facilitator
• Communication Manager
• Resource Manager

Consider assigning each person a group of exercises to take leadership on.

• Note that the exercises build on each other, but you can brainstorm ideas and draft code.
• Each of you create your own Rmd file
• Consider creating a DM group in Slack to share code with each other.
• If your group is stuck, ask a question in #section_01 in Slack (a student in another group could answer you…)

Group work time

After class

• Turning in the Mini Project to Moodle will be optional [Solutions will be posted on Thursday]
• Completing the Mini Project will be a useful exercise for midterm review
