remove explicit reference to TBL, Lab numbers from notebooks and function names
since these are used in courses beyond EOSC 350 at UBC, the code should not specifically reference "Lab" or "TBL" unless we are explicitly using data from a lab or TBL at UBC
Agree. We need apps as general as possible. Another issue to address is not to blend too many things in one notebook - one notebook only conveys one point.
Specifically, GPR needs to be updated. @dccowan: would you be willing to take an initial crack at this?
@yangdikun: would you be willing to go through the notebooks and see which other ones have language specific to assignments / labs in 350 and list those in this issue so that we can keep track of them?
The following contains reference to UBC/TBL/Lab
GPR_Lab6_FitData GPR_TBL4_DOI_Resolution Mag_FitProfile (no specific mentioning of Lab or TBL, but uses magnetic data from UBC)
Thanks @yangdikun, I think we can update the 2 GPR notebooks fairly easily. The Mag one is a bit tougher - because we do want students to be working with the data they collected.
For this one, I think it is still appropriate to use those data, but we should have the data file be an input parameter to the setup. This way, if you were to run a similar experiment, you could load in your data. Alternatively, you can still use the UBC data. Would that be a suitable solution @yangdikun?
The mag data are loaded using like this fileName = 'http://github.com/geoscixyz/gpgLabs/raw/master/assets/Mag/data/Lab1_Wednesday_TA.csv'
Do you think students can replace it with a local data file name (suppose they run the notebooks on bliner)?
Keeping the UBC data is ok because it serves as a template.
