Assignment 01: Quarto Notes
Due by
This is the first regular assignment for the course.
Task 1: Write up your notes for the first class meeting
You should have taken notes during the first class meeting. If you are taking notes in something other than Quarto, that’s fine. If you didn’t take notes at all, you should think about starting to take notes. What I want you to do is make a Quarto file within some RStudio project. (Loose advice: I like to have a “scratch” folder, in the sense of a scratchpad, where I can create single-use script files or one-off quick documents that are not yet projects.) Choose a name for this file and, in the file itself explain your choice of file name. In addition, tell me where exactly on your computer the this file is, and why it is there.
For the remainder of the quarto file, feel free to write up or include whatever you want from the first class meeting. Or, use it to practice the rudiments of RMarkdown based on the content of the second batch of slides from Week 1. You can include code snippets, bibliographical references, experiments with document structure or formatting, or whatever else you think would be useful for you.
Task 2: Render your notes to PDF and submit it to Canvas
Create a PDF version of your file. There will be a Canvas assignment where you can upload the PDF file.
