Overview
This is a suite of online resources designed to help introduce R programming for those who want to use it for:
a) Data handling
b) Statistics and
c) Modelling
Each of the above modules are further broken down into 10-12 stand alone components which concentrate on a specific aspect of R programming. The resources provided are not designed to replace face-to-face teaching, but to complement it by introducing the theory (typically, videos of powerpoint presentations), the practice (typically, videos of writing code in RStudio) and the code (developed using RMarkdown/knitR) associated with a particular concept or approach. Short multiple choice exercises are provided at the end of each component, while longer multi-choice exams are available to fully test your understanding.
Upon successful completion of R LABS (3 modules), students will be able to:
Learning to program any computer language necessarily encourages both critical thinking and problem solving. Therefore students completing the three modules will have the grounding and confidence necessary in R programming to adapt and develop their own tailor made applications.
