Overview

This is an 8 week course designed to introduce future users to R and Rstudio. We will cover data cleaning using the tidyverse, creating visuals with ggplot, basic statistical analysis and writing documents with Rmarkdown. In the end you should be able to:

• import and manipulate data into different formats
• create new variables and recode existing ones
• plot data using the appropriate figure type
• perform basic statistics
• write Rmarkdown reports

Who is this course designed for?

Have you never written any code in R or any other programming language? Are you familiar with R, but hoping to bulk up your basic skills? Have you used R but are new to the tidyverse framework?
