Launching “Data Science for Biologists” homeworks, apps, and interactive exercises

Updating course resources

Run the following line, and answer 1 or 2 to the prompt! This will delete your whole environment, so be careful to update only after everything you need to save is saved!!

ds4b.materials::update_materials()

Lauching homeworks

All homeworks except HW1 and HW3 should be obtained using this procedure:

• In your class RStudio Cloud project in the BIOL01301 Fall 2021 Workspace, load the ds4b.materials library in the Console:

  library(ds4b.materials)

• Then, use the function launch_homework() to obtain and set up a given homework based on its number. For example, to launch homework #2, run:

  launch_homework(2)

  This will download and open the given homework template. If you run this function a second time, rest assured it will not delete your work! It will just open the homework template you already downloaded.
