survey_sorting_exercise links to wrong data file #226

Closed ErinBecker closed 6 years ago

ErinBecker commented 6 years ago

In the quality control episode under Quality Control, Sorting, the first exercise refers to a "semi-cleaned data file" that has a column called Weight_grams. However, the link that this file goes to is the same dataset that the learners have been using up until that point in the lesson (the messy dataset), and there is no column with this name. This exercise won't work on the messy dataset because of the multiple tables issue. I think @zjsteyn had originally developed this exercise and I remember he had created a new data file specifically for this exercise, but I can't find it in the lesson files. Where did this file go?
