Lab 1 - Meet the toolkit
STA 210 - Spring 2022
What to expect in lab
Introduction to the lab assignment (~ 5 - 10 minutes)
Work on the lab assignment (individual at first, but in teams for the rest of the semester)
Lab instructions posted on the course website.
Start each lab by finding your assignment repo in the course GitHub organization
- This is where you will find the Quarto document and data to get started
Tips
You do not have to finish the lab in class, they will always be due the following Friday at 5:00 pm. One work strategy is to get through portions that you think will be most challenging (which initially might be the coding component) during lab when a TA can help you on the spot and leave the narrative writing until later.
When working in teams (later in the semester) do not pressure each other to finish early; use the time wisely to really learn the material and produce a quality report.
Check: Do you have the lab-1 repo?
Go to the GitHub course organization: https://github.com/sta210-s22
You should see a repo with the prefix
