Thread for M2S1 Issues

The ToC link to Section 4 (2.1.4) appears broken (also the title of that section is called "Storage" in one place and "Creating a working folder structure" in another, not sure if those should be made a little more similar)

Add downloadable Metadata template (as xlsx file). File is located here in the Module 2 folder: Module 2: Data/ Module_2_files_to_link/ metadata_template_blank.xlsx Link to the metadata template in "here" in the first sentence of 2.1.5.2, which is edited slightly: "Along with this class, we provide you with a metadata template, downloadable here."

Text edits (all visible as suggested edits in the M2S1 Google doc):

• [x] In this session: update the TOC - 1. Learning objectives, 2. Value statement, 3. File naming, 4. Creating a working folder structure, 5. Metadata, 6. Version control, 7. Summary
• [x] 2.1.1: add periods to the ends of the sentences of the two learning objectives.
• [x] 2.1.1: change title of learning objectives section to "Data Cleaning: Learning objectives" (session rather than module title in the header)
• [x] 2.1.1: in Learning objective 1, remove the common after "and".
• [x] 2.1.2: change title of value statement section to "Data Cleaning: Value statement"
• [x] 2.1.2: in Value statement 2, add "which provides data about the data" to the end of the second sentence so it reads "Every data file should be accompanied by its metadata, which provides data about the data."
• [x] 2.1.3 File naming: in 2.1.3.1, add "to help your colleagues recognize which data each file contains" to the end of the first sentence.
• [x] 2.1.4 Creating a working folder structure: add a 3rd point to the list, text starting with "In the example file structure below..."
• [x] 2.1.5 Metadata: Add "so that anyone who looks at the data can understand what they mean" to the end of the second sentence in 2.1.5.1 and alter tenses in the list to be plural so that the sentence reads "Generally, metadata describe who collected the data, what data were collected, when and where they were collected, and why they were collected so that anyone who looks at the data can understand what they mean."
• [x] 2.1.6 Version control: Add links to the work Git (https://git-scm.com) and GitHub (https://github.com) in the third sentence of 2.1.6.1.
• [x] 2.1.7 Summary: Slight edit to first sentence - change to "Well done! Having a good..."
