clean data -> import and analyze -> results -> visualization), it can be
helpful to identify that you're now somewhere between clean data and analysis.

## Common Difficult Concepts

* Making the leap from a research question to a query (seen in some of the challenges)
* Data import
* Not necessarily a concept, but we always have at least a handful of people that
struggle with the table import step -- especially in the virtual context with window changing
* Data type options in SQLite (Integer, text, blog, real, numeric) when importing
from CSV. (Maybe have a table of SQLite date types in the student matieral).
* Good to make sure that a comparison is drawn between joins in different
languages, e.g. SQL vs tidyverse
* HAVING, and why it's different to WHERE.... - especially when teaching online
* given the dataset is _relatively_ complex, some students (and instructors) find it difficult to remember what data is where, especially when they're from a totally different domain
* How nulls behave in different circumstances (when did a NULL change your result and how do you know?)
