+
+# 1. Get Organized
+
+Follow these instructions:
+
+1. Download and edit [this template](`r url_template`).
+2. Unzip the template folder. **Make sure you actually unzip it**! (in Windows, right-click it and use "extract all")
+3. Open the .Rproj file to open RStudio.
+4. Inside RStudio, open the ``r hw_file`` file, take notes, and write some example code as you go through the readings / exercises below.
+
+# 2. Readings
+
+Next week we will start getting into designing conjoint surveys for our projects. We will implement them using [surveydown](https://surveydown.org/), which is a markdown-based platform for designing surveys. The platform allows you to use R or markdown code (just like you would in a .qmd file) to define everything you see in an online survey. While you will be editing a Quarto document, it renders into a [Shiny](https://shiny.posit.co/) app, which you can then use to administer your survey.
+
+To get familiar with the platform, read the following:
+
+1. The [Introducing Surveydown](https://surveydown.org/blog/2024-08-21-introducing-surveydown/) blog post on the surveydown website.
+2. The [Getting Started](https://surveydown.org/get-started) documentation on the surveydown website.
+3. The [Survey Components](https://surveydown.org/survey-components) documentation on the surveydown website.
+
+**Take notes** as you read the blog post and go through the documentation.
+
+# 3. Make a practice survey
+
+For practice, try replicating one of the [demo surveys](https://surveydown.org/demos) listed on the surveydown website. Follow these steps: 
+
+1. Download or clone the GitHub repository associated with the demo survey you chose. 
+2. Open RStudio and click "Run Document", then copy-paste the localhost url into your browser to locally preview the survey. 
+3. Make edits to the survey to personalize it. Choose a topic that you find interesting and try modifying at least one question in the survey, then re-render the document to see your chages. 
+
+# 4. Reflect
+
+Reflect on what you've learned while going through these readings and exercises. Is there anything that jumped out at you? Anything you found particularly interesting or confusing? Write at least a paragraph in your ``r hw_file`` file, and include at least one question. The teaching team will review the questions we get and will try to answer them either in Slack or in class.
+
+If you're unsure where to start with a reflection, try filling out this template:
+
+> "I used to think ______, now I think ______ 🤔"
+
+# 5. Submit
+
+To submit your assignment, follow these instructions:
+
+1. Render your .qmd file by either clicking the "Render" button in RStudio or running the command ``r paste0('quarto::quarto_render("', hw_file, '")')`` command.
+2. Open the rendered html file and make sure it looks good! Is all the formatting as you expected?
+3. Create a zip file of all the files in your R project folder for this assignment (your ``r hw_file`` and your demo survey files) and submit it on the corresponding assignment submission on Blackboard.
