My favorite things are being outside, drinking coffee, and watching women’s basketball.
I love cats!
I’ve been programming in R since 2014!

Labs & Challenges Due Sunday by Midnight
To keep everyone on track with the coursework, your Lab and Challenges are due by midnight every Sunday. You are permitted to request up to four (4) deadline extensions by filling out the deadline extension form.
To set the stage for your future group collaborations, we will complete an activity that explores how working in groups can be more / less successful.
Let’s start by dividing the class into groups of 6 students.
Your group is finished once everyone has a complete circle.
Arrange the different pieces (tables and graphs) based on the actions that led to each new table / graph.
Once you have arranged each of the tables and graphs, answer the following questions:
The purpose of the study is to understand how an instructor’s pedagogy impacts the equity of group collaborations, specifically as they relate to pair programming.
If you agree to participate…
you will be recorded once a week for 10-weeks while participating in pair programming to complete collaborative tasks.
you will complete a pre- and post-survey about your prior computing experiences and your attitudes toward data science.
Your participation in this research will not affect your course grade.
