2023-11-14

Announcements

  • Grades for all homework assignments are now posted to Moodle

  • Keys (answers) for all homework assignments are also posted

    • You can compare your answer to the key

Recap from Day 6

  • Quarto is a system for generating reports from code

  • By using Quarto, we can ensure our results are reproducible and derived directly from the data (and code)

Recap: Working as a team

  • To avoid merge conflicts (incompatible changes to the same file made by different people) make a copy of the final report file for each team member to work on.

    • For example, report-jn.Qmd

  • Share your work by pushing and pulling

  • When you are ready to submit the final report, one person should edit the final report file report.Qmd

  • Also submit the repo URL on Moodle as usual

Due dates

  • The report (report.qmd) is due 2023-11-20 11:59 PM

  • The presentation will be given in class on 2023-11-21

    • You can use any software you like to prepare the presentation (such as Powerpoint)
    • Please make sure one team member has their computer ready to show the presentation

Grading

  • Please see the rubric in the final report instructions to understand how the paper and presentation will be graded

Evaluation Sheets

  • You will evaluate (score) each other team’s presentation in class on 2023-11-21
    • Turn in Form A (hardcopy) at the end of the class
  • You will evaluate the contributions of each of your team members after class (due by 2023-11-21 11:59 PM)
    • Turn in Form B (digital) on Moodle

Some tips for your report

Change the size of a figure

  • You can adjust the size of the figure with chunk options fig.height and fig.width (units in inches)

  • For example:

#| fig.height: 6
#| fig.width: 6

Change the font size

  • You can adjust the overall font size of the figure like this:
ggplot(gapminder, aes(x = pop, y = lifeExp)) +
  geom_point() +
  theme_gray(base_size = 16)

Change the font size

  • You can adjust the overall font size of the figure like this:
ggplot(gapminder, aes(x = pop, y = lifeExp)) +
  geom_point() +
  theme_gray(base_size = 16)
  • There are other themes available too, but theme_gray() should be fine for the final paper

Add a pagebreak

  • You can add a pagebreak to your document like this:

{{< pagebreak >}}

Group Work

  • The rest of the class time is for group work. I will answer any questions you may have about the report.
