HW3 feedback and instructions for HW4 submissions | |
Dear students, The grades and feedback files for HW3 are now available. Following the grading of HW3 we have some important comments and instructions for the submission of HW4: 1. Please change the R markdown file so that it generates a single PDF output file. In that PDF report, make sure you do not have very large output tables. You should submit a report with a reasonable length. 2. Merge your PDF report with the PDF containing the answers to questions 2-4. Submit a single PDF file for all 4 questions. 3. Verify that the R markdown file you submit is valid and produces the report you submit. Sometime you get file versions mixed up so make sure you submit the most recent Rmd file. 4. Please make sure to go over your R markdown output report. The results should make sense to you and you should explain what you get as part of the report. 5. Please verify that you answer the specific questions included in each section as part of your report. 6. If you modify the data files outside of R before loading them, make sure you did not do any damage and that everything works as expected. 7. In question 1, section viii. you are asked to load the DE genes list from HW3. In case your gene list of HW3 is not valid (refer to the feedback you received) you can use the following file that we uploaded to the assignment page - "sigresults.csv". Please make sure to explicitly specify what file you used for this section. Thank you, Course staff. |
