Mary Denise Robertson homework assignment 1

[marydeniserobertson]

I included my reflection in the assignment but now I see this is the correct place for it:

Description of how I edited README: I went to the class page on github, made a fork to my account, cloned the fork to my Rstudio, read the markdown guide, wrote my intro, made two commits, and then generated this pull request.

Reflection on process: Figuring out how to open the git file through Rstudio was tricky(the fork, clone part of the workflow). I originally thought we had to use the shell the way we did when first making repos and committing changes when testing out our software configuration. Once I found the step by step instructions for cloning it into Rstudio, it was pretty straightforward. R Markdown was very straightforward - the linked 'mastering markdown' tutorial on Github was really useful. Remembering to commit, then pull, push was also a learning curve, but having the step by step checklist for the workflow is very helpful.

Remarks:

• It's really cool that you're from South Africa! I see you've adjusted well to Chicago life but I guess that's to be expected after 9 years :) (I've only been here for about 3 weeks!)
• I felt like you could have given more substance and organization. You have the code down so I would be interested to know about you're study interests as an anthropologist (I am one too!) and definitely where those free milkshakes are at.

Remarks:

• Your only minor mistake in your code was failing to put a space after # to create a header--a mistake it appears many others in our course (including myself), made as well. Although you did include the space in two of your headers (Homework assignment 1 and Time at UChicago)
• I like your layout, it looks like something you would include on a professional bio.
• Looking at your assignment, I realize we really need to be more mindful of minutiae like spaces
• I think many people in the class sought to complete everything the assignment asked of us, but did not go beyond the specific instructions. Programming is not a discipline that people typically think of as "creative" but we need to challenge that perspective in this course and strive to be creative and even innovative with our work.

Remarks:

• You don't need to commit all files such as .gitignore or .Rproj files. Just commit those files which are necessary.
• Issue with headers but glad to see that you resolved it.
