Modules

How the modules work

Most modules follow the same four-step structure:

Do — you carry out a small task or exercise in R.
See — you observe and inspect the result of what you did.
Predict — before moving on, you make a prediction about what will happen in a new, related case.
Explain — you explain why it happened, connecting the result back to the underlying concept.
