Take home assignments:
In-class assignments:
- Students are in groups; give groups same base plot but different tasks (e.g. one group needs to add/modify title, subtitle, caption, like move title to left, another group needs to adjust axis breaks, range, etc.), then share out. Learning Objectives: (learn how to customize ggplot themes, google for solutions / practice self-sufficiency)
Hybrid (park take-home, part in-class) assignments:
- Students individually create a plot based on question/data prompt. Must bring (non-annotated) code and resulting visualization to class. Students partner up and give their code to their partner, who needs to sketch the resulting plot on paper. Learning Objectives (writing clear code, reading/interpreting code, googling functions when you aren't familiar with what they do)
Assignment Schedule:
Three required self assessments/reflections + 4 (?) data viz assignments. Rough outline of assignment schedule:
