Schedule

Submit each of your homework answers, as an html file, via this Google form before midnight on the day before the class for which the homework was assigned.

Key resources: Preceptor’s Primer for Bayesian Data Science, vscode.tutorials, and primer.tutorials.

Always reinstall the relevant package before starting a new tutorial. Example:

remove.packages("vscode.tutorials")
remotes::install_github("PPBDS/vscode.tutorials")

primer.tutorials is a little trickier:

remove.packages("primer.tutorials")
remotes::install_github("PPBDS/primer", subdir = "primer.tutorials")

We are always fixing mistakes. You want to use the latest version.

If you do not complete the tutorials on time, you will be removed from the class. Send in your tutorial answers saved in html format. Please try to ensure that the name of the file is the default name, like 01-code_answers.html. Avoid using the name which will be assigned to the file if you download the same answers twice (or more), stuff like 01-code_answers (2).html. You can just change the name of the file by hand if this happens.
