Random Assignment to Sessions 🎲

Let’s randomly assign each group to Monday or Wednesday:

library(tidyverse)

# Set seed for reproducibility
set.seed(789123)

# Create groups 1-28
groups <- 1:28

# Randomly assign to Monday or Wednesday
assignments <- tibble(
    Group = groups,
    Session = sample(
        rep(c("Monday, Dec 8th", "Wednesday, Dec 10th"),
            each = 14
        ),
        size = 28,
        replace = FALSE
    )
) %>%
    arrange(Session, Group)

# Display the assignments
assignments %>%
    knitr::kable(
        col.names = c("Group", "Session"),
        align = "lc",
        caption = "Group Assignments"
    )
