Content update (common trip ups in week 4) #18
Description
Fonti, Ash and I were discussing common issues students are having (currently in Week 4). Some students are struggling with discerning dependent and predictor variables, including which corresponds to y and x and how the lm() function requires the format y ~ x.
Also, we noticed many students are not saving their qmd files, and/or working in files called "Untitled". Ash noticed a couple of students writing all of their code in the console and thus not saving their code to be reused later. She gave her lab a nice overview of the RStudio workspace last week, explaining the different panes and what we use them for, so I think that might be nice if it was formalised into the content.
