improve data frame names in the lesson #628

Closed alee closed 1 year ago

alee commented 1 year ago

Creating an issue from #470 which was not merged but will be preserved in a new feature branch for the interim

The gist is we should use better variable names for data frames than df and data, and to explicitly provide descriptive names and explain why descriptive names are better in the lesson. These improved variable names should be threaded through all the episodes as well.

If you need help with this, I'm happy to work on it as my first contributing issue.

With #631 merged, is there still anything left to do for this issue?

alee commented 1 year ago

Episodes 8 and 16 still have some residual df references that would benefit from renaming - a PR to fix those too for consistency would be very welcome!
