“Introduction to Data Analysis and Visualization in R” Workshop

I independently developed and implemented a course that aims to equip students with basic data analysis and visualization skills in R. I emphasize understanding of the R language itself and hence the course begins with an introduction to the syntax of R. This is so that students who complete the course will be able to learn more R independently. The course focuses on the use of Tidyverse and ggplot2 packages. There are five sessions in the course and each session will cover important concepts and functions at each stage of the data visualization process. Each session will be accompanied with exercises in R for practice in class and after class. An original data sample was constructed for these exercises. By the end of the course, students should be able to navigate R to perform basic exploratory data analysis.

The most recent iteration was completed in January 2022.

Course structure:
Lesson 1: Basic syntax in R and exploring data
Lesson 2: Data cleaning and data transformation
Lesson 3: Basic syntax of ggplot2
Lesson 4: Aesthetics, attributes, and faceting in ggplot2
Lesson 5: Enhancing visualizations in ggplot2
