13.6 Rubric (/10)

The rubric below is not necessarily final and may be adjusted, but this is the basic structure:

13.6.1 1. Rendered Quarto Site (/2)

  • Full (2/2): The rendered document is a Quarto project (i.e. a _site/_book folder).
  • Partial (1/2): The practicals have been rendered using some literate programming approach (individual Quarto files, RMarkdown files or a bookdown project), but not a Quarto project.
  • None (0/2): The site fails to render.

13.6.2 2. GitHub Repository URL (/2)

  • Full (2/2): A correct and accessible GitHub URL is provided that seems to have all the code.
  • Partial (1/2): A correct and accessible GitHub URL is provided but the code seems to be incomplete.
  • None (0/2): No GitHub URL is provided or it is completely incorrect or incomplete.

13.6.3 3. Prac day 1, prac 2 and prac day 4 (/20 each)

For each practical:

  • Full (2/2): Practical is completed correctly with all required components.
  • Partial (1/2): Some components are completed, but noticeable issues or omissions exist.
  • None (0/2): Practical is not attempted or is entirely incorrect.

13.7 FAQs

  • How many Git/GitHub repos does this involve?
    • One. Your project should contain something like the following files and folders, which is what you should see locally and on GitHub:
_site/
prac-day-1.qmd
prac2.qmd
prac-day-four.qmd
_quarto.yml
  • Should each question in each prac be answered in a separate qmd?
    • No, as per above, each prac should be in one qmd file exactly. So all questions from each practical should be answered in just one file.
  • I cannot get Quarto projects to work. Can I just submit them as separate rendered HTML files?
    • You can, but you’ll get part marks for that part of the rubric.

13.8 Marking Guidelines

  • We do not expect you to mark each question individually in the practicals. Instead, try assess more quickly whether it appears correct or not.
