Final Portfolio Week

Lab 8 Peer Review

Past due!

Lab 9 Peer Review

Due by Wednesday!

Creativity in Tables

Think about Font

A table of proportions of correctly returned babies (from last week's lab assignment on simulating data). The table uses times new roman (a serif) font for the title and calibri (a sanserif font) for the body. The use of different fonts in different places makes the table less visually appealing.

Make Your Font Consistent

A table of proportions of correctly returned babies (from last week's lab assignment on simulating data). The table uses calibri (a san serif font) for both the title of the table and the body of the table. The use of a consistent font makes the table more visually appealing.

San serif fonts (e.g., calibri, arial) are more accessible than serif fonts (e.g., times new roman).

Modification to Learning Targets


None of the lab assignments had a setting where a full_join() was appropriate.

Remove the full_join() section of your reflection_template.qmd file

When locating code…

  • find 1-2 high quality examples (quality > quantity)
  • find examples that hit on multiple learning targets at the same time

For example…

the code below could be used to demonstrate proficiency with:

  • PE-2 (writing functions)
  • R-2 (well documented code)
  • DSSM-1 (simulating data)
randomBabies <- function(nBabies) {
  # Create a vector representing the parents
  parents <- 1:nBabies
  
  # Shuffle the babies randomly
  babies <- sample(parents)
  
  # Count how many babies are correctly returned
  sum(parents == babies)
}

Creativity

Here are some places where you can demonstrate creativity in a visualization:

  • colors
  • removing a legend
    • (annotations or colors in title)
  • non-standard plot layout
    • not non-standard plots (e.g., heatmaps)

Creativity

Here are some places where you can demonstrate creativity in a table:

  • font
  • shading
  • border
  • table title / subtitle
  • spanner labels
  • footnotes / source notes

Revising Your Thinking

“Includes thoughtful reflections on why revisions are being requested.”

Feel free to include reflections you are proud of!

Extending Your Thinking

You are making an argument about how you have extended your thinking—“pushing yourself” looks different for everyone, but you need to justify why your code went above and beyond.

Determining Your Grade

Determining Your Grade

I believe my grade equivalent to course work evidenced below to be an __.

Your goal is to argue, convincingly and with concrete evidence, that you have met the criteria for both content proficiency, evidence of continued learning, and growth as a team member that goes with a particular grade.

Plus / Minus Modifiers

+

  • You’ve met all the criteria for the letter grade along with a significant amount, but not all, of the criteria for the next letter grade up.

-

  • You have met the requirements for a letter grade but only in a way that you believe is a bare minimum.
  • You’ve met almost all the requirements for the letter grade except for a small number of minor criteria.

What if we don’t agree?

There are two ways this might happen.

You ask for a grade that is higher than the evidence supports.


That is, you grade yourself too highly. For example, you believe you earned an A in the course, but I do not feel the evidence you’ve provided supports this grade.


In this case, I’ll ask you to explain how you would modify a portion of the code you’ve included in your portfolio to be more efficient.



If your response communicates that you understand this key concept, I will award you the grade you proposed.



If your response communicates that you do not understand this key concept, I will award you the highest grade I believe the evidence in your portfolio supports.

What if we don’t agree?

You ask for a grade that was lower than your actual performance indicates.


That is, you “lowball” yourself, for example you say you earned a B+ when in fact I think you earned an A-.




In this case, I will tell you what grade I believe you have earned and why.

Final Portfolio Meetings

Will occur from 9am - 4pm on Tuesday of Finals Week.
(1-4pm is our original exam time)


Sign-up for your time here: link to Google Sheet

The sign-up will close at 5pm on Thursday.

Final Portfolio Deadline

The link to your Final Portfolio repository is due by Sunday at 11:59pm.

Deadline extensions will not be accepted.

If you do not submit a Final Portfolio by the deadline, I will use your Midterm Portfolio as well as completion of assignments from Week 7 - 10 to guide my decision.
