Your Cloud dashboard will look something like this once you’re all logged in and joined up:

Please note that things might not really kick in on Posit Cloud until the technical first day of the semester.

Each project is considered an Assignment, so begin with the START HERE Introduction to R project by clicking START and following the instructions. This will provide you with:

  • An introduction to Quarto files
  • Various primers on using R
  • A much deeper look at Quarto
  • An absolutely invaluable primer on tidy syntax

Note that these project templates are what you will use to do your activities in this class but you will still need to submit your files to the dropboxes in the LMS. So the process for completing these assignments will generally go like this:

  1. Complete the module’s readings/videos
  2. Attend the live class meeting or watch the recording
  3. Read the assignment page on this website
  4. Complete the assignment using the Cloud project
  5. Download the qmd and HTML/PDF files
  6. Do the assignment Grading Declaration quiz in the LMS
  7. Submit the qmd and HTML/PDF to the now-opened dropbox (Submit the files separately; do not upload a zip file!)
