If you are aiming for an A in the course, recall from our syllabus that participating in 3 Tidy Tuesday challenges can move you toward this goal. These are great to include in your digital portfolio.
- I encourage you to participate in the most recent Tidy Tuesday challenge.
- To turn in your work, share an image of a visual that you are proud of in the #sharing-is-caring channel on Slack and a link to a Github repository created for your Tidy Tuesday work. I encourage you to make the repo public; if you choose to keep it private, add the instructor as a collaborator.
