Reflection Questions
How was the R install process? The install process was easy as soon as I was finally able to update my computer. Just had to follow the instructions after that!
How was the course folder organization process? The course folder organization process could not have been more simple. With Dr. Adams’ guidance, I was able to figure it out with little to no difficulty.
