Class Ideas

[carriewright11]

Possible Updates to Website

• Could do quarto for the website to allow for internal search and for this Markdown formatter for _schedule_table.Rmd #113
• Could add the course Candace and I made with Roger for working reproducibly in R (not quite done) add new reproducibility resource when it is ready #365

Additional Resources

• Could add resource for doing something similar to putexcel output #435
• Could add simple quizzes or puzzles to help learners with fundamentals and jargon. See Add quiz(zes) about getting general info about packages and functions #56
• Could make videos on some topics that are fundamentals or people struggle with. See Create videos for students #60
• Could make the practice at the beginning be in webr or something. See exercises online - learnr/gradethis #71
• Could make a resource of all the common issues after we add these slides to each lecture Add common error slides to lectures: based on suggestions from students #406

Possible Updates to Lectures

• Could incorporate a case study (or case studies) more, possibly for homework or extra practice. See use case studies in some way #73
• Could have a short wrap up lecture where we recommend how to continue their R journey. See New idea - a final wrap up lecture? #601 and New module on how to get help #345
• Could record labs and share on website in case people miss. See prerecord labs #522
• Could use fewer datasets. See Less datasets overall? #487
• We have toyed with the idea of moving data classes earlier. See Class Order #400
• Could do quarto for slides to allow for highlighting code etc. See Quarto? #287
• Could use tidydatatutor to help people see things. See consider https://tidydatatutor.com/ #353
• NEW: Would it make sense to move data classes before summarization to make the logic class slides easier to discuss? (they are already in the same day) (would maybe want to reorder day 4 cheatsheet)
• NEW: Might want to check cheatsheets after day 5
• NEW: people had questions about the extra functions they might see which was a bit tricky - maybe we want extra slides about them? (maybe best to direct them to future lectures with other functions -- for example rowwise vs accross -- for the most part?)
