You Can Learn R! Part 1 (Seminar)
An accessible and inclusive workshop to teach early-career researchers how to learn R.
Do you need R for your research but are not sure where to start? Have you tried learning R but struggled to learn on your own? This workshop is for you!
You are invited to participate in a workshop designed to help graduate students and post-doctoral researchers learn how to learn R. This workshop will include a 60-minute seminar, access to a curated set of resources for learning R, and a 1-hour working session (Part 2) to engage with the resources along with other R learners to complete data-driven tasks (potentially related to your own research!) Your participation will also connect you to a campus-wide network of early-career researchers using the included resources to learn R.
In this seminar you will learn:
- The capabilities and utility of R in your research
- The basics of using R and RStudio
- How to load, manipulate, summarize, and visualize your data
- Exposure to commonly used R packages such as tidyr, dplyr, and ggplot2
- How to explore and learn to use new functions and packages in R
- Recommendations for trouble-shooting errors
- Exposure to a collection of resources designed to help you learn R
The seminar portion of this workshop will take place Tuesday, October 17th from Noon to 1:00PM via Zoom. The practice session will be in Part 2 scheduled for Thursday October 19th (in-person). Please sign up for that one too.
