Working on a HW assignment

• You should organize most HW assignments with the following file structure:

hw04/
  data/
  code/
  report/
  README.md

• Use the directory data/ to put the data file(s)
• Use the directory code/ to put all your .R files (e.g. scripts, functions, tests)
• Use the directory report/ to put your .Rmd file (or slides)
• Make sure the README.md file contains:
  • Title of the HW assignment
  • Brief description
  • Special instructions for any user (if necessary)
  • Special instructions for graders (if necessary)
  • Links to any resources that you used to complete the HW
  • List of references that you used to complete the HW
• Some assignments may need more directories: e.g. app/, images/

As soon as you start working on a HW:

• Keep track of changes with Git
• Commit changes
• Push commits to your github repository
• Don't wait till the last day/hours/minutes to push to Github

Submitting your work

You should submit the repository link of each HW to bCourses, providing the commit number that corresponds to the closest time-stamp before the due date.

You can keep working on a HW once its due date has passed. However, we won't grade anything after the due date. Why bother? Because it is good professional practice. And it will help you have a nice portfolio for the course that you could show to the rest of the world (don't underestimate this).
