Assignment 9

  

For this week’s assignment, I want you to start an RMD file for your final project. I recommend starting with test_score.Rmd as a template. In your RMD file, you should attempt to:

  1. Read in your data
  2. Wrangle/clean your data
  3. Make/output any tables you may have
  4. Make/output any figures you may have

The good news is that whatever code you’ve written so far to accomplish these tasks can go directly into your document (no need to reinvent the wheel!).

If you have thoughts about your analysis (i.e. what you might write in a report), go ahead and add them as markdown between your code chunks. Basically, begin working on your reproducible report.

My recommendations:

  1. Start slow.
    1. Start with test_score.Rmd, rename, move to your final_project folder.
    2. Next try reading in your data, once accomplished, then clean, then make figure, etc.
  2. Compile to PDF or HTML often; this will help you find your errors along the way.

Push whatever you try in a file called final_project.Rmd in your final_project folder by start of class next week.
