Code review #1

Nice work!

  1. I liked how you put r code into the text. You might play around with the formatting options in the format and round commands so that you don't have so many significant digits.
  2. Your paragraph is on the same line as the #### which makes the entire paragraph a section heading. You probably don't want that and would prefer to have it as normal text.
  3. I haven't seen the [//] used before - it seems to comment things out. Where did you see that originally? Pretty cool and useful.

Hi, Pat! I'm glad you enjoyed the code!

1) That's really useful information. I was a little irked by the number of digits included in each output, but ran out of time to fully look into changing this. I'm definitely going to use the round command next time I'm reporting mean values.

2) I certainly agree. I was trying to play around with text size to make the html look more aesthetically pleasing, but I'm guessing there are ways to just alter the properties of normal text?

3) I can't remember on which forum I picked up this trick, but I thought it was really cool. I wanted to have a way to embed plain text into the RMarkdown file so that anyone reviewing it could easily follow where I was embedding code without that text showing up in the .html output. I agree that it is going to be really useful moving forward.

Thank you so much for the feedback, and for taking the time out of your schedule to lead this course. It made me feel much better about being able to continue working with R on my own. I'm hoping to integrate some proteomics work into my PhD research (I am currently a first year immunology student), and am excited about improving my computational prowess!
