Closed matackett closed 4 years ago

matackett commented 4 years ago

Are there any example assignments or class activities using covid-19 data?

I have a day one activity example that I used in some workshops, here is the link to it: https://rstudio.cloud/project/1444789

But it does require caution since it's about deaths.

There was also an assignment that got shared on isostat I think: https://rpruim.github.io/ds303/S20/hw/covid-19/covid-19.html

Thanks! I'll use these to put together some example exercises and discussion questions.
