Units on “Getting Started” and “Data Visualization” (Activities 1-7)
Including concepts (eg: how to interpret output, what plot is appropriate) and code (eg: what function to use).
Preparing:
Review early!
As you work in class, start to pay deeper attention to the general concepts, code structure, and common functions and arguments.
Check the Learning Goals page for a full set of concepts.
Quiz 2
Date: Tuesday 3/31 in class
Length: 90 minutes
Format:
Same format as Quiz 1
Content covered:
Units: “Getting Started”, “Data Visualization”, and “Data Wrangling” (Activities 1-13)
Expectations for Data Viz:
You should be comfortable reading a research question and drawing an appropriate and effective data viz to address that question given the types of variables under consideration. This research question could involve up to 4 variables that are a mix of types (categorical and quantitative).
You should be able to interpret that viz to gain insights about the research question.
You should be able to explain why a given viz is or more less effective than an alternative.
You should be able to look at a plot and write (fill in the blanks) the code that generated it.
You should be able to look at code and draw the plot that would result. (The general form of the plot: axes, panels, colors, geometries, lines.)

Grading:
There will be a separate mark (HP, P+, P, LP, NP) for the data viz and data wrangling questions, and these two marks will be combined into an overall quiz grade.
If you earn a HP or P+ on the data viz part, this can replace your Quiz 1 mark and still count as a HP before revision (for the purposes of earning an A in the course). See the syllabus for details.
