Chapter 16 File names for homework

16.1 Files created by you

All files your create on your own which get submitted for homework need to be in lower case and strictly adhere to this format:

“pittemail_lastname_assignmenttitle”

Where I will provide the assignment title.

For example:

“nlb24_brouwer_assign_1.rmd”

16.2 Incorrectly named files

Files will be downloaded and processed automatically so it is essential that your files are named correctly; errors may result in your assignment receiving a zero. There will be a grace period of 2 weeks where I will work with everyone to understand and use the file naming system.

It is your responsibility to make sure you file names are correct. If I spot an incorrectly named file I may have time to inform you so you can correct it, but this may not be until after the assignment is due and will result in points being lost as per the late assignment policy.
