Module 2 Self-Assessment: Week of 6/14

**Things Learned:**

**Technical Area:**

- Learning about R modules and how to manipulate different data types in R
- Learning about Rshiny. The structure of this module and how to build a simple Rshiny app.
- Learning about reading and summarizing journal club paper

**Tools:**

- Slack
- StemAway Platform
- Rshiny

**Soft Skills:**

- Team collaboration
- Time management
- Being efficient in familiar with new techniques.

**Three achievement highlights**

- Build my first Rshiny app
- Review R modules that I learned before
- Summarize a research paper

**Goals for the upcoming week:**

- Be more efficient and make a plan for module 3 before starting on it
- List all the tasks by date and work on them one by one. I’m a little bit lost in following the tasks.

**Detailed statement of tasks done:**

- I first work on the research paper. After reading the paper twice, summarized it and explained the figure assigned to me in a slide. Then worked on the Rshiny project by reading related articles posted and followed the steps. Built a volcano plot generator following that. Then work on Module 2 works. Basically downloaded the data and loaded the data.
