This is the repository for the 'Collaborative Social Science Data Analysis' course taught by Christopher Gandrud at the Hertie School of Governance, set up by Christopher Cosler and Lisa Schmid.

The course calls for four assignments. Each assignment has its own folder. The description of the assignments can be found further down in this README.md file.

Any feedback, comments, and ideas are encouraged. Please send them to Christopher Cosler or Lisa Schmid or submit a pull request.

Quote from the syllabus: "The first pair assignment is designed to develop your understanding of file structures, version control, and basic R data structures and descriptive statistics. Each pair will create a new public GitHub repository. The repository should be fully documented, including with a descriptive README.md file. The repository will include R source code files that access at least two core R data sets, perform basic transformations on the data, and illustrate the datas' distributions using a variety relevant of descriptive statistics. At least one file must dynamically link to another in a substantively meaningful way. Finally, another pair must make a pull request and it should be discussed and merged. Deadline 2 October, 10% of final grade."
