Week 8 · midterm check-in 15%

One claim and a figure

Build a short HTML page from data you already have: a sentence, a figure or table, and a limit. The graded work tonight is the individual midterm check-in (week10-project/CHECKIN.md). There is no peer critique.

The page

What to put on it

  1. A title that states the measure.
  2. The prediction you wrote before looking.
  3. One figure or table (screenshot from Week 5, or the optional descriptives page, is enough).
  4. A result sentence that a stranger can understand.
  5. A limitation, including n.

Save it as week08-results/index.html in your private repository.

The check-in

Due in class

Tonight you also hand in your midterm project plan (week10-project/CHECKIN.md). Instructions and marks: project.html.

The weekly report is separate: path to the results page and the claim.

Remix

Modification

A classmate should see the claim sentence before they hunt for a chart. State n and one limit on the page. A difference without a count is a caption, not a result.
