Data visualization exercise repositories

This contains links to all the standalone repositories I use for the third generation of assignments for my dataviz class, starting in Fall 2025.

Each is in its own repository so it's easier to (1) make copies in the future and (2) deploy these projects to Posit.cloud without needing to upload a bunch of individual files or move them around after uploading a .zip there

Semester-specific customization

Process for distributing these to students

• Make a copy of the repository somehow (git clone, download a zip file, clone it through Posit.cloud's "New Project" dialog, whatever)
• Delete answers.qmd and build_data.R
• Change SEMESTER YEAR in the subtitle YAML setting in your-name_exercise-x.qmd to something more accurate (e.g. "Fall 2025" or whatever)
• Make sure any links that include "f25" are updated

Process for making the answer key

• Make a copy of the repository somehow (git clone, download a zip file, whatever)
• Change SEMESTER YEAR in the subtitle YAML setting in answers.qmd to something more accurate (e.g. "Fall 2025" or whatever)
• Change the author and date too
• Make sure any links that include "f25" are updated
• Run quarto::quarto_render() inside build_data.R
