Luis Recalde - hw01 submission #38

Closed recalderamirez closed 4 years ago

recalderamirez commented 4 years ago

My name is Luis Recalde, and I am a second year student at the Harris School of Public Policy.

I was able to do most of this assignment by following the video under Homework 1 in the CFSS site. I have very little experience with Markdown, so the Daring Fireball website was extremely helpful, especially its "Dingus" feature to learn Markdown syntax.

One thing that I found difficult and made me go back and forth was embedding an image into the Markdown. Following "Dingus"'s guidelines I was able to put an image that was in my computer, but then it would not show up in Github. In the end I figured out how to make it work (by uploading the image in Github and embedding the link), but the size of the image was too large. I googled solutions and found answers in stackoverflow. I had to use an html syntax to have the image in the right size.

The process of going back and forth trying to edit my document was helpful to get used to the notion of committing to changes, pushing the committed changes to my repository and also pulling things from Github.

  • Great job! Very thorough commit history and good workflow
  • As this assignment was mainly geared towards learning and practicing Markdown syntax, I would've liked to have seen more it. I would take a look at the R Markdown Cheat Sheet to see some adjustments could be made in the future

Hi!

I thought I did use a cheatsheet for Markdown. I have no background in Markdown, so I followed a link that was posted in the class website. Daring Fireball: Markdown.

The only non-Markdown code that I used was to embed the image.

I appreciate the comments and suggestions! :)

In general terms:

  • Coding style: Excellent. This HW was very "unique", and I believe he did a good job, especially adding a comment on each of the commits, to keep track of what as changing.
  • Coding strategy: Excellent. Luis was resourceful, and manage to solve the issues he had with adding the image.
  • Presentation: Excellent. Especially the use of different headers for different sections.
  • Achievement: Excellent. He considered all the elements suggested.
  • Reproducibility: Excellent. Although this is hard to see as kind of template, Luis can still use what he learned in future occasions.

Thank you for your comments! :)
