Justin PZ Pomeranz, Ph. D.Yesterday I had an open class for students to work on their take-home final for the #RStats class I'm teaching this semester. Instead of asking me questions they were all working together and helping each other work through the code, analysis and interpretation. It was awesome. I hope they keep coding 😎
Lulu Powerful@PZ_ecology That sounds wonderful. We're not even allowed to discuss our assignments with one another, and I really miss the collaboration.
Jeff Wesner@lulu_powerful that's a bummer, although I understand why some teachers would want you to "do your own work." I personally feel that the benefits of collaboration and peer support across the class outweighs the risks of a couple of people skating by and getting the code "for free"
