Getting Settled

In small groups, introduce yourself.

Then discuss past collaborations and group activities and whether or not you’ve taken on the following roles:

  • Facilitator: Make sure the group makes progress on the task
  • Reflector: Make sure that everyone in the group contributes; encourage participation from everyone
  • Resource Manager: Make sure the group seeks out the resources it needs to complete the task
  • Communicator Manager: Take responsibility to facilitate communication with each other and to the larger class/instructor

When you work in groups, do you tend to take on some of these responsibilities? If you don’t, who does? Reflect.

Due this Week

  • Assignment 5 (Six Main Verbs, Reshaping) Tonight [via Moodle]
  • TT5 tomorrow night [via Moodle]
  • IV0 tomorrow night [via Moodle]

Iterative Viz

Iterative Viz Instructions

Steps:

  1. Complete TidyTuesday 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5!
  2. Submit one of those graphics (no changes) to IV0 assignment by Feb 24.
  3. Revise/update your graphic based on feedback and submit for IV1 by Mar 24
  4. Revise/update your graphic based on feedback and submit for IV2 by April 28

Creativity is highly encouraged and increased complexity (that increases the effectiveness of the visual) is expected for IV1 and IV2.

Monthly Learning Reflections

To practice self-assessment and self-reflection, I would like you to complete a monthly self-reflection about your learning in this class:

  • by the end of Feb
  • by the end of Mar
  • by the end of April

Open the template file.

  • What question do you have?

I’ll create individual versions of this document and share them with you within 24 hours. You add your reflections in your individual document. This will only be shared between you and me.

Joins Exercises

Open your Rmd file from Tuesday and scroll down to Bicycle Use Patterns.

Run the following code:

data_site <-
  "https://bcheggeseth.github.io/112_spring_2023/data/2014-Q4-Trips-History-Data-Small.rds"
Trips <- readRDS(gzcon(url(data_site)))
Stations <- read_csv("https://bcheggeseth.github.io/112_spring_2023/data/DC-Stations.csv")

Then scroll down to Mutating join practice: Spatial patterns.

Work in small groups on this exercise (Visualization of bicycle departures by station).

If you finish before us bring you back together, start the next exercise as a group.

Factors

Open the course website to https://bcheggeseth.github.io/112_spring_2023/categorical-variables-as-factors.html

I posted a 12 minute video on Slack of me going over some of the examples.

  • You’ll need to create your own Rmd file today (no more templates).
    • Look at the structure of the past Rmd templates and copy and paste.

Scroll to the bottom (Exercise 10.1).

In Small Groups

  1. Each of you brainstorm some ideas
  2. “Play” in your individual Rmd files.
  3. After 5 minutes, come together to share your research questions and visualization plans.
  4. Create a Slack DM group to share code with each other as needed [hard to copy/paste from Zoom chat].

After Class

  • Assignment 5 for tonight (on Moodle)
  • TT5 for tomorrow (on Moodle)
  • Submit one of your TT1-TT5 for IV0 (on Moodle)
  • Learning reflection by March 1.
  • Finish Joins exercises and this 1 exercise for next week.
