Goals

• Meet your teammates!

• Ice breaker / get to know your team

• Team agreement

• Lab 04: Visualizing spatial data

Meet your Teammates!

• Click here to find your team number.

• Sit with your team.

Icebreaker (5 minutes)

• Quick introductions: Name and hometown

• Choose a reporter: The person whose birthday is closest to September 16

• Identify 8 things everyone in the group has in common:

  • Not clothes (e.g. we're all wearing shoes)
  • Not body parts, (e.g. we all have a nose)

Visualizing spatial data demo

• Open the ae-08 repo. You can add this code to the bottom of your ae-08 Rmd file.

• Practice 1: Make a map with the counties in NC filled in based on the number of COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents. You can use cases and pp_2018 to calculate the number of COVID-19 cases per 100,000.

• Practice 2: Make a map with the counties in NC filled in based on the median age. Use scale_fill_gradient2 to set a color gradient with a midpoint at the overall median in the data set.

Team name + agreement

• Come up with a team name. You can't have the same name as another group in the class, so be creative!

  • Your TA will get your team name by the end of lab.

• Fill out the team agreement. The goals of the agreement are to...

  • Gain a common understanding of the team's goals and expectations for collaboration
  • Make a plan for team communication
  • Make a plan for working outside of lab.

Demo:

• Collaboration using a single GitHub repo
• Pull work from GitHub into RStudio

Team workflow

• Only one team member should type at a time. There are markers in today's lab to help you determine who's turn it is to type.

  • Every team member should still be engaged in discussion for all questions, even if it's not your turn type.

• Don't forget to pull to get your teammates' updates before making changes to the .Rmd file

• Only one submission for the team on Gradescope.

Tips for working on a team

• Do not pressure each other to finish early; use the time wisely to really learn the material and produce a quality report.

• The labs are structured to help you learn the steps of a data analysis. Do not split up the lab among the team members; work on it together in its entirety.

• Everyone has something to contribute! Use the lab groups as an opportunity to share ideas and learn from each other.
