• After (or during) watching each video, write the code that is being explained by the virtual instructor in your Rmd file.

  • Write each piece of code explained in the video in its own R chunk.
  • ⚠️ If the code gives an error or does not run, you can tell R not to run it by using the option eval = FALSE inside the R chunk:

    your code that does not run goes here.
    ```
