Instructor Notes

General notes


The examples gradually build up to a full analysis of the Palmer Penguins dataset. However, there are a few places where completely different code is demonstrated to explain certain concepts. Since a given targets project can only have one _targets.R file, this means the participants may have to delete their existing _targets.R file and write a new one to follow along with the examples. This may cause frustration if they can’t keep a record of what they have done so far. One solution would be to save the old _targets.R file as _targets_old.R or similar, then rename it when it should be run again.
