Angelina’s Learning Log WK1

Hello everyone! I’ve been very excited to start this course and start coding for the first time.

Coding Goals

Honestly, my coding goal was just to follow Danielle’s tutorial and make sure I got everything right.

I now know that that should not have been my goal, since it disregards that mistakes will be made and that they are allowed to be made.

How I achieved my goals

I sat down and watched Danielle’s youtube videos and followed along. Markdown and RMarkdown was relatively simple to follow, and although a few mistakes were made here and there, it all turned out okay.

One mistake I made was not properly separating text, which made it so that if I tried to do numbered lists like:

Example of list 1. Hello this is a list

The number was not separated from the text above. However, I did learn my mistake and now I can do numbered lists (yay!)

Example of list

  1. Hello, this is a successful list!

Other that that, the tutorials were easy to follow!

Next steps of my coding journey

As I have just started, I will continue to learn coding through Danielle’s youtube videos.

Markdown Example

Here is an example of the Markdown document I had:

Introduction to NJ

I did not know what to write for this portion, so I handed my laptop to my friend NJ to type whatever he wanted.

NJ Does His Thing

NJ typed the following:

  • Burrito
  • Taco
  • Quescidda

He meant quesadilla, I don’t know how he screwed that up so bad.

  • Tortilla
  • Nachos
  • Nan Roti
  • Salsa
  • Tequila
  • Muy Bueno

Which is not a food but does mean very good, evident from this website

NJ’s Ranking

I asked NJ to rank them, and this is how he ranked them.

  1. Nachos
  2. Quescidda
  • Again, this is meant to be quesadilla
  1. Burrito
  2. Tortilla
  3. Taco
  4. Nan Roti
  5. Muy Bueno
  • Very good indeed
  1. Tequila
  2. Salsa

RMarkdown Example

This was me trying out the different RMarkdown features.

Hey it’s a subheading

My first time using R Markdown.

What I like about PSYC3361 so far is:

  • It’s an exciting course that is unlike any course I’ve done before
  • I get to learn coding
  • Jenny and Kate have been lovely so far!
print("hello all")
## [1] "hello all"

I am adding more so I can scroll and test the table of contents.

I am testing the equations.

\(x^2 + 1\)

\[ x^2 + 3x + 24 = 9 \]
