The last chapter that we will examine is Chapter 28 Quarto from the final
part of our textbook, Part IV Communicate.
Quarto is an evolution of R markdown files (.Rmd). R markdown files were (and
still are) a popular tool for merging presentation, graphics, analysis, and R code
in a format that can be exported in a variety of popular file formats including
.pdf, .html, and .docx.
How you present your work is up to you, but you will often want to share
presentations with people who do not have R installed and may be intimidated
installing or using R.
Markdown files use simplified formating commands to organize the content of your
reports, and include R input and output.
Learning how to make a good presentation takes time and practice, and there are a
great many things to learn about Quarto, but you can learn it while you use it and
much as you do when you learn to use Microsoft Word or Google Docs.
I am not going to have you submit an assignment about Quarto this week, rather you
can use the week to catch-up and hand in other homeworks you may not have
completed.
It has been a pleasure working through the chapters of this textbook with you this
semester. There is still much more that you can learn from here, but you are off
to a good start.
Assessment deadlines will be 11:59pm each Saturday.
All assessments are submitted to the Homework Folder inside your assigned
Google Drive folder.
There are no make-ups for missed assessments. Contact me before a deadline
if you have an issue meeting the deadline and we will find a mutually
agreeable solution.
