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_03 in Slack (a student in another group could answer you…)

Group work time

After class

No Class on Thursday

  • In place of class on Thursday, attend 2 MSCS Capstone Talks and write brief overviews of the talks in #section_03 of Slack.
  • Turning in the Mini Project to Moodle will be optional [Solutions will be posted over the weekend]
  • Completing the Mini Project will be a useful exercise for midterm review
