R Markdown mini-assignment

Due: September 24, 2018 @ 11:59pm

Instructions

Obtain the GitHub repository for the activity, which contains a starter file named rmarkdown.Rmd. Use this file to re-create the layout of rmarkdown-mini-assignment-template.html using Markdown. You will knit your file to the HTML format. When you’re done, save your file, commit, push (upload) it to GitHub, and follow the How to submit section below to setup a Pull Request, which will be used for feedback.

How to submit

When you are ready to submit, be sure to save, commit, and push your final result so that everything is synchronized to GitHub. To lock in your submission time, knit your R Markdown document to HTML, download the file from RStudio Server, and upload it to the R Markdown mini-assignment posting on Blackboard.

You are to also open a Pull Request on GitHub so that comments can be directly left on your R Markdown source files. After uploading to Blackboard, navigate to your copy of the GitHub repository you used for this assignment. You should see your repository, along with the updated files that you synchronized to GitHub. Do the following:

1. Click the Pull Requests tab near the top of the page.

2. Click the green button that says “New pull request”.

3. Click the dropdown menu button labeled “base:”, and select the option grading.

4. Confirm that the dropdown menu button labled “compare:” is set to master.

5. Click the green button that says “Create pull request”.

6. Give the pull request the following title: Submission: R Markdown mini-assignment, FirstName LastName, replacing FirstName and LastName with your actual first and last name.

7. In the messagebox, write My submission is ready for grading @jkglasbrenner.

8. Click “Create pull request” to lock in your submission.
