Schedule

Here’s your roadmap for the course

  • Content (): This contains the readings, slides, data files, etc. for each session. These will also be added on Canvas on the day of each session. It helps to read the material before each session.
  • Example (): This page contains worked examples of fully annotated R code that you can use as a reference. This is only a reference page—you don’t have to necessarily do anything here.
  • Exercise (): These are interactive exercises where you have to provide R code in your browser to solve a problem, much like Datacamp. These are not graded, but are always there for your reference.
  • Assignment (): This page contains instructions for the three workshop exercises (3-4 brief tasks plus a challenge), for the individual portfolio website project, and the final group project. Assignments are due by 11:59 PM UTC on the day they’re listed.
