Q&A 5 How do you convert a CDI Q&A into a student assignment?

5.1 Explanation

Each CDI Q&A includes:

  • ✅ A real-world question
  • 📘 A step-by-step explanation
  • 💻 Sample Python and R code

To turn this into an LMS-based assignment:

  1. Use only the question — hide the explanation and code walkthrough
  2. Provide instructions like:
    • “Answer this using Python or R”
    • “Submit a notebook link, code file, or written explanation”
  3. (Optional) Add a starter template with placeholders for:
    • ✍️ Explanation
    • 💻 Code
    • 📸 Output or screenshot

5.1.1 LMS Setup Tip:

In most platforms (e.g., Moodle, Canvas, Google Classroom):

  • Use “Add Assignment” or equivalent
  • Paste the question as your prompt
  • Choose submission types (e.g., file upload, text entry)
  • Set deadlines and grading criteria

Takeaway: Focus on the core question, let learners explore, and use LMS tools to structure it as a real task.
