You can work individually or in groups of 2 or 3. If you work in pairs/groups, you may submit one assignment for all of you.

There is no associated Exercise 04 Quiz.

 

Objectives

In short, Exercise 04 is about building readiness for Capstone 02. Essentially, I'm just making you do some of your Capstone 02 work in advance.

Because Capstone 02 can be done individually or in groups of 2 or 3, you can also do this for Exercise 4!

Is it okay if things change between now and Capstone 02? Of course.

 

Getting started

Start by reading the two introductions to Capstone 02

Think about what you might want to do!

 

There are two options for this exercise:

Option A: Proposal + graph demo

Option B: Slide deck

Both require two charts.

 

Option A: Proposal + graph demo

For my own sanity, please complete this entire assignment in R Markdown and then knit to just one document

Part 1: Idea proposal

Complete this idea proposal. It can be literally three medium-complete sentences. It can be more if you have questions

  1. Frame your topic as a question. What is that question you will answer?

  2. What is the data source you are going to use?

  3. Who are you working with and/or are you looking for a project buddy? Correct answers include but are not limited to:

    1. I'm working by myself and I'm happy about that
    2. I'm working with Ashley and we would be open to one more person
    3. I'm working with James and Tyra.

Part 2: Exploratory work

Within your Markdown document, write code that does the following

  1. Load your dataset into R
  2. Take a look at that data
  3. Make two charts. These can be extremely rough. But, there should be two. You may decide to use all of them in your presentation. You may decide to use none or one.

Submit

Knit your Markdown file and submit the output

Option B: Rough draft

Submit the rough draft of your slide deck. To be considered complete "enough," you should have at least the following:

More complete = more feedback!

Submit

Submit your slide deck as a pdf.
