• Start off with plotting data as soon as we read it in -> quick return!
• I'm still in favor is "functionizing" ggplot stuff or really really expanding it and having like a ~30 min intro to ggplot. This is the first time we ever plot something in R and we're already starting off complicated.
• take out show.legend command since it doesn't actually show a legend
• I liked the addition of the prec_merged$prec_diff <- prec_merged$prec_month - prec_merged$prec_avg stuff at the end for plotting, and we should totally add it onto the lesson!
• I'd say if you want to go over dplyr then keep it to looking at a specific function instead of coding it since the beginners are still trying to follow along, since the pipes are not explained at all. Neither is what a "groupby" is. I think this is cognative overload for beginning programmers

Add a "gpkg vs shape files and why gpkgs are handy" explainer near the top Student requested more about how to handle date type objects and show just the month

• Make images of the subsets used for the subset exercise
• remove show-legend = TRUE from weather data graph
• Exercise 3, make 2 different toggles so you can show one question-and-solution pair at a time
• Consider whether or not to include and/or examples
