If you have questions about this week's lab ANY TA for this class can help you.

Data Visualization 📈👀

This week we are learning about more ways to look at our data. How can we represent our data in better ways than just grids of numbers?

In addition to learning about Geopandas, you'll be using this week to form final project groups. It is crucial that you come to your lab section in person - it will be much harder to find a group online. The group you work with on the final project does NOT need to be the same group that you worked with on past skills labs. The only constraint is that you still need to work with someone in your lab section. This is because it will be impossible to schedule presentations if we have groups that straddle multiple lab sections.

Getting Started Again™

1. Log into SCI JupyterHub and start a terminal
2. Type in git clone https://github.com/pitt-sci-cmpinf0010/Data-Visualization and hit the enter key
3. This should download a folder to your JupyterHub with the lab (it should be called Geopandas)
4. Double click the new folder in the file explorer. You should see the lab contents.
5. Launch Lab-Lesson.ipynb notebook to review everything the UTA covered in lab section. There are no exercises that you need to complete this week.

If JupyterHub doesn't work for you

Use Binder!

Important: Binder does not always save your work. If you need to stop working on your lab for more than 30 minutes, you need to download your exercises notebook to you computer. Then, you can reupload it again later to continue your work.

Submitting your finished lab

This week you don't need to submit a Jupyter notebook. Instead you just need to submit the names of your group members on Canvas.

1. Join a group on Canvas. Here are instructions for how to join a group. Make sure you join one of the groups called "Final Project group X". You will be using this group for your final submission, so it will save you a lot of headaches to make sure you have correctly joined the same group this week.
2. One and only one of you needs to submit the names of your group members. Canvas will provide a text box where you can simply type in the group member names and submit. If you joined a group correctly, one submission will count for all of you.
3. If your group does not include more than one person you will not receive any points. Collaboration is an important learning goal of the final project, and you will not be receiving any credit if you try to complete the project on your own.
