Surveys and feedback
Check that the links to the feedback surveys in all tutorials lead to a survey on the right topic. I think sometimes the links are wrong, e.g. it’s the data vis tutorial, but the modelling feedback survey.
Similarly, in the separate repos for the data for each tutorial, there is a link to the respective feedback, but it’s not always right.
Some tutorials don’t have surveys - could you add them? If you go to surveymonkey.com and log in using gndaskalova@gmail.com and use the same password as for twitter (I think…), you can see all the past surveys and you can just duplicate a survey and only change the relevant words, the surveys are pretty brief, so shouldn’t take too long I hope.
Need to create new surveys

On the twitter front @beverlytan , there is a new tutorial on machine learning by Sam that you could tweet about sometime over the next few weeks (no rush at all) - https://ourcodingclub.github.io/2018/10/15/machine-learning.html
I'll go fix those gigantic license images in the tutorial now, since they look quite ugly, my bad, that was me trying to "fix" things and then making them worse!

Happy new year @beverlytan !
Great work on the data vis 2 tutorial! I was wondering if you could update the colours on the final plot too so that they are the same as the other ones you made earlier in the tutorial? No rush on it, just whenever.
Thanks!

Hi @beverlytan ,
Apologies for behind a bit behind on tasks here, I'll catch up over the weekend hopefully.
Just got a comment "to bring up to date" this tutorial https://ourcodingclub.github.io/2017/11/11/popchange.html from the online feedback form, could you go through it to see if there is indeed anything that needs updating?
Thanks!

Hey @beverlytan , me again!
Just noticed the resolution of this graph in the functions and loops tutorials is a bit low, could you please swap the image file with a better one and increase the size of the graph in the tutorial a bit as well?
Thanks very much!

Hey @beverlytan
John just added to this tutorial https://ourcodingclub.github.io/2017/02/08/funandloops.html could you please tweet about it sometime next week?
And in general, for the next semester, feel free to tweet about previous tutorials, those that haven't received much attention in the past, etc. Maybe something like 1 tweet about the tutorial from the workshop that happened in that week, and one tweet about some other tutorial, as a rough guideline.

Hey @beverlytan
Thank you very much for sorting out the surveys, that will help us with keeping the tutorials up to date (and working)!
I just remembered that the links to the surveys are also in the README files in the repositories that hold the data for each tutorial - those ones are less urgent to fix, but whenever you can, can you check them as well? Then our surveys would all be sorted out!

Hi @gndaskalova , this is regarding the ordination tutorial edits
I also don't know how to develop the graph for "ordexample2.png", that was just an example of the final result, and so haven't managed to change the font size / screenshots. But i think because it's an example it should be ok.
Uploaded other problematic figures with better font sizes

Hey @beverlytan
I will aim to go through the pull requests over the weekend and answer your questions too.
Someone just said in the online feedback survey that the stargazer part of the mixed effects models tutorial didn't work for them, could you please look into that when you can?
Thanks!
@gndaskalova just checked, and stargazer is working fine!
Hi @beverlytan - if you can, could you please check out the pull request for the programming in C tutorial? Essentially if you could complete the tutorial and see all the code and formatting and such works, and then I can merge the pull request afterwards?
There is no specific deadline on this.
[20 March update: seems like the file is blank, cannot progress at the moment]
Hey @beverlytan
Hope you are doing well!
I have another task if you're up for it!
Could you please go through all the Coding Club tutorials that use the Living Planet Database and make sure there is always a link to the Living Planet Database website and a reference for the data? Same for the repositories that have the data for each tutorial, the reference can go in the readme file.
Thank you!

Hey @beverlytan
Got another task for you if you're up for it! It is not time-sensitive so whenever you can.
We got permission to publish a tutorial from the Stirling Coding Club on our website and I was wondering if you could do the actual posting?
This is the tutorial https://stirlingcodingclub.github.io/SCC_R_package/notebook/Rpackage_notes.html
The Rmd file for the tutorial is here, so essentially you'll need to convert the Rmd file to a normal md one as that's what our website uses (and you can check out existing md files in the posts folder of our repo to see the syntax) and match the formatting of the tutorial with how we format ours. https://github.com/StirlingCodingClub/SCC_R_package/blob/master/notebook/Rpackage_notes.Rmd
You can call it "Creating your own R package" or something like that.
Feel free to edit the tutorial as well if you see somewhere where that is needed as you go through the text.
Thanks very much! Gergana

Hi @gndaskalova, okie dokes i'll get to that.
Also, i'll try to get to these tasks on Thursday this week, 20 March (I'm meeting my prof on Thursday so realistically will only work on CC things after that meeting) and finish the forms then so that you can submit it on Friday, so that it'll come together with the accounts for this semester. I saw that you wanted the forms in by the 18th but was wondering if this would be ok instead?
I'm just thinking that payment will take a while, and i'm likely going to close my bank account in July, so want to get the forms in asap! I completely didn't think this through until now, let me know if that's ok.
That's fine about the forms! Yeah, we should definitely submit your forms asap then. If you don't finish all the tasks before I submit the forms, that's okay, you can estimate how long they'll take you and you can add hours for covering the twitter form until you go off for fieldwork, is that alright @beverlytan ?
Okay @gndaskalova , will update you on Thursday night! Also, wanted to ask if I have to resubmit a signed copy of my passport and visa stuff, cuz Isla had previously signed the first set of forms I submitted but it was dated 28 Nov?
You'll need to check that with Lisa when you submit the forms, so we will see!
Just an update!
Things left to do 20 March
Hey @beverlytan
Hmm, okay, I will check about the C programming tutorial later.
Thanks for posting the how to make a package tutorial! Here is what it currently looks like - I was wondering if you could make the screenshots smaller as some are really in your face and a bit blurry? And I was thinking back to your DS tutorial, you had nice annotations on your screenshots there, maybe on some of the screenshots for the R package one, where the text says things like "here we can see..." you can add a circle or something, so that people can see exactly where the "here" is?
https://ourcodingclub.github.io/2019/03/20/writing-r-package.html
Oh and the tutorial needs a header - this is the blank file https://github.com/ourcodingclub/tutorials-in-progress/blob/master/resources/tutheaderbl.png
So perhaps you can add "How to make your own R package" and with smaller text something else below as you see fit? 48pt bold Arial for the main title and 30pt regular Arial for the sub-title - that's the CC general style.
Thanks very much!
Hey @beverlytan
There is a new tutorial to advertise on Twitter! It is Maude's spatial analysis in R (rasters and remote-sensing one), so quite exciting!
https://ourcodingclub.github.io/2019/03/26/spatial.html
Can you tweet about it when you can, and use the logo for it as the image. Thank you!
