  1. A repository in GitHub
  2. An html document that contains the following:
    • Purpose or research question
    • Code used to manipulate and explore data with enough documentation for someone else to reproduce and understand your method.
    • Results of your work with a minimum of two figures (preferably using ggplot2).
    • Brief summary or conclusion of the outcome of your purpose or research question.
