This is a template repository for a group assignment to produce a descriptive analysis of class survey data.
Repository contents:
datacontains survey responses on each of two sections stripped of identifying information, and a metadata file with variable names and descriptionsscriptscontains the R script used to prepare the raw responses and the codes producing the results shown in classresultscontains a template calledreport.qmdwith some instructions about what to include in write-ups
Assignment instructions:
- Coordinate with your group on questions to explore and assign tasks. Not all tasks need to involve analyzing the data. For example, writing up results will be a task that may pair well with coordinating group activity. Working in pairs is recommended.
- Carry out your analysis in R scripts and store these in the
scriptsfolder; if each person works on their own script, the potential for merge conflicts should be minimized and branches won't be necessary. Your scripts can be pretty messy; think of them as scratch work. - Pool findings and decide what to include in your write-up. Prepare the write-up by modifying
report.qmd. - When your write-up is complete, render the document and then push changes to the main branch of your group repository. This counts as your submission. You can continue to make changes until the due date. Changes made after the due date may be made but are not guaranteed to receive review.
Remarks:
-
in general, your scripts will not be reviewed in detail, but they are important to include as a record of your work;
-
you can request feedback from a TA on work in progress by directing them to a script and/or a commit;
-
you will be evaluated in part on your individual contributions based on the commit history of your group's repository, so make sure your contributions are recorded in the commit history somehow; your commits may pertain to scripts or the write-up and may be on the main branch or a separate branch;
-
consider using the Issues feature to assign tasks and track work
