Your Turn

For this week, we want you to create a Quarto document. To do this, you'll take code from last week's data viz project assignment and turn it into a Quarto document. Here's an example of what we're looking for: https://github.com/rfortherestofus/rin3-fall-2024/tree/main/rin3-project-templates/rin3-week4-example

Here are the steps for this week's assignment:

  1. Open your project from the Week 3 assignment.

  2. Create a Quarto document and save it to the root folder (not in your code folder).

  3. Paste your code from your R script into your new Quarto document.

  4. Break your code into code chunks as appropriate, making sure to remove or comment out any code that does not generate new objects or plots.

  5. Adjust your code chunk options so that you only see results, not warnings, messages, code, etc.

  6. Add text using markdown as you learned in the Text lesson. Use headings, bold, italics, and lists as appropriate. Use this opportunity to add context to your report, and explain to the reader what they should be paying attention to.

  7. Make sure you can render your document. Notice this will create new files and folders in your root folder, and it will look a bit messy. We will learn how to deal with it in the Advanced Quarto lessons. For now, you can delete the .html file and the <your_project>_files folder before submitting your assignment for review. Make sure to keep your .qmd file.

  8. Once you've completed your work, compress your project_assignment folder and upload it to the form below.

  9. If you have any specific questions, add those in the form below as well.
