HELP!
This repo is where BIOL3207/6207 students from ANU can ask for help with their coding
How?
- First, read this blog post and make sure you follow the advice on how to make a Minimal Reproducible Example. A little summary is to include:
- a short, descriptive title
- enough context that someone can quickly understand what you are trying to do
- a clear problem statement
- a description of what you've already tried, or what directions you think might be useful
- reproducible code and data, try to make sure to include a minimal dataset that we can load, as well as a clear example of the output you are looking for (see also points 2 and 3)
- good formatting (e.g. use headers and subheaders if it makes it clearer)
- Write your MRE
- If there is code in your MRE, make sure it runs as you expect (either producing the output you expect, or the error you expect), then turn your code into a reprex using the
reprex()
function from the reprex
package in R
- Submit your MRE with the reprex code as a New Issue on this repository
- Await help
Then what?
We'll do our best to respond to all questions within 1 working day.
A few things to remember
- For questions related to assignments, we will answer questions posted at least two working days prior to the deadline, but not after this. This is simply to try and ensure that we can get all posted questions answered in time for the answers to be useful to the person that posted the question
- If you don't follow the first 4 steps in the 'How?' section above, we will simply respond to your question by asking you to fix the question. Then you will join the back of the queue
- Don't ask us to do the work for the assignment (!). But we can help you debug specific bits of code when you're stuck
