Practical Exam
The exam will be conducted in week 11. These are similar in presentation to assignments but you have a shorter amount of time to complete them. You will be given an Rmd file and some data. Inside the Rmd are questions to help guide you through a data analysis.
You are expected to answer all of the questions inside the Rmd, and then submit both the Rmd and compiled html file to ED within 24 hours. In previous versions of the course the exam has taken students about 60 minutes to 90 minutes to complete.
