Project Setup & Management

Structure: Group Discussion (15 mins)

When you are starting the analysis for a project, what are the pieces that make up your project?

• How do we organize these into groups?

README: Think/Pair/Share (30 mins)

• READMEs are a landing page to our projects

• What do you need know when you first interact with someone’s project?

  • Person 1: project creator / Person 2: project user

  • Come up with a list of attributes, information, etc. that you would need to use this project (to be shared later)

  • Scenario A: Graduated lab member + new lab member

  • Scenario B: Dataset/code from published paper + professional accessing these

RStudio Project Setup (20 mins)

• We have the pieces of the project and info we need in the README: let’s set up an RStudio Project
