April 2025 (2025-04) monthly summary for HWTeng-Teaching/202502-Financial-Econometrics. The month focused on bootstrapping the repository, standardizing materials, and improving documentation to accelerate onboarding, collaboration, and reproducibility for econometrics coursework. Key features delivered: - Readme groundwork: Created and updated Readme.md across multiple commits to document repository structure, setup steps, and usage guidance. - Initial project bootstrap: Added core project files and assets via upload to establish a working repository structure. - Material lifecycle for C08Q18: Created initial C08Q18(a.b.c).md, standardized naming (renamed to C08Q18(a,b,c).md), and implemented extensive updates across multiple batches for clarity and consistency. - HW0331/HW0414 R Markdown maintenance: Updated HW0331_鄭凱鴻313652013Rcode.Rmd and performed PDF cleanup; applied HW0414 Rmd updates to fix issues and keep material current. - Assets/additional resources: Added assets and supplementary files to support course materials and future deployments. Major bugs fixed: - Targeted fixes in HW0414_鄭凱鴻313652013Rcode.Rmd to address inconsistencies and correctness issues. - Removal of obsolete PDFs (e.g., 313652013_Allen/HW0331/HW0331_鄭凱鴻313652013.pdf) to reduce drift and confusion. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Onboarding readiness: Comprehensive Readme and documentation enable new contributors to start quickly with minimal guidance. - Reproducibility and maintainability: Standardized material naming and batch documentation updates improve maintainability and reduce rework. - Collaboration enablement: Clear documentation and established project structure accelerate team collaboration on econometrics coursework materials. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Git version control practices (commits with descriptive messages, batch updates). - R Markdown file maintenance and R-based coursework materials. - Documentation governance and asset management for data science education projects.
