This isn’t a metaphorical question.
Let’s make a map:
🥳 Congratulations!
We just built some spatial data.
We’ll come back to it later.
A few things about me:
Each practice exercise will include a mix of questions and coding prompts excerpted or adapted from R for Data Science, Geocomputation with R, and other resources.
Questions may include both close-ended “fill in the blank” style questions and more open-ended prompts.
Feedback on the exercises is welcome!
The final project includes a few elements:
The proposal and presentation will both be built with Quarto using the HTML document and Reveal.js presentation formats.
Note that this book also includes extensive information on raster data. This is not a topic covered in any detail as part of this class and can be skipped.
We are all learning! No prior programming experience is required and we should all work to make this an inclusive experienced for everyone.
Do come to class. You’ll get the most out of this semester if you are present and participating.
Don’t come to class sick! Please prioritize your health and well-being if you are sick or need to care for someone else.
You can participate online if you need to. We can screen share sessions to Discord and record lectures if needed.
You are allowed to use ChatGPT or other large language models to help with your project or, if desired, assignments.
You must include information about when and how you use it including your specific prompts and tools used.
You should use these tools with caution. They provide non-working code and describe non-existent functions and packages. Don’t let this tool stand in the way of developing your own understanding of R and how it works.
