Last week was the 5th online edition of my ๐ฅ ๐๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐น๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฎ ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ workshop.
And I experienced such a proud teacher moment when one participant showed me this plot at the end of the fourth day.
It might not look like much, but it truly is. I was really excited for them.
Let me explain why.
Four days prior, my student knew nothing about coding in R or any other language. A proper rookie.

Yet, they managed to internalise everything I had taught so far, combining different pieces of the puzzle with their own data. - They wrote a very well-structured script that is readable and reproducible from start to end - They loaded their own data - Processed it to engineer the columns needed for the plot - Wrote the entire ggplot code - And then fine-tuned the labels, colours, and overall style - They exported the image to a different folder, demonstrating their understanding of file paths
