Lab 06: Dorling cartogram? #45

Closed mtwelker closed 3 years ago

mtwelker commented 3 years ago

Prof. Lecy, I don't remember doing a Dorling cartogram in my CPP 526 class. Can you provide a link to this assignment so I can better understand what the purpose was? Thank you!

@mtwelker , Lab 06 instruction have been changed. Can you check ?

mtwelker commented 3 years ago

I'm glad I asked! That new assignment makes much more sense. Thank you, @Rami-Assaad !

Thank you for asking and the answer! I had started working on the other instructions!

Thank you for the patience. I have been made aware that some people have not taken CPP 529 yet and thus that lab would have been challenging.

I have made a bit of a switch so you can get more practice on the things that matter most. You get two new projects, hot off the press:

https://watts-college.github.io/cpp-527-fall-2021/labs/final-project-instructions.html

I will send a note out via Canvas tonight with some schedule updates to make sure everyone has time. I'm going to let you pick between the code through and Lab 6 (I recommend Lab 6 unless you have already completed the code-through).

The lab deadline has also been extended to Friday.

There is not a lot of new content in both Lab 6 and the Final Project. It is mostly applications of things that we have covered already. I have provided you a lot of starter code because I want you to focus on the big picture of how all of the pieces fit together and not get stuck in the weeds of a specific step.

I am hoping that these projects will help show how far you have come this semester and how you can start to put a lot of different tools together to do substantive analysis or reporting with the skills you now have (once you can consolidate knowledge from this semester).

Thank you for that information, Prof. @lecy !
There's nothing new on Canvas yet, so students who haven't checked here may not know the assignments have changed.
