This hands-on workshop teaches you to read and write R scripts for computation, data manipulation, and analysis. Using a web-based platform, you'll gain practical coding experience without needing to install any software.

What You'll Learn: Our goal is to explain R syntax in clear, general terms so you can confidently work with R. Through concise exercises and real code examples, you'll build a solid foundation for using R in your academic work.

Who Should Attend: This workshop is designed for students and scholars who want to apply R to assignments, projects, or research. No prior programming experience is required.

Workshop Structure: The workshop includes six modules delivered across four sessions.  Each session runs from 4 pm until 5:15 pm.

• Before Nov 10: Complete modules 1-2 independently. Explore the material, attempt the quizzes, and prepare questions for our first meeting.
• Nov 10 4:00-5:15pm (Session 1): Discussion of modules 1-2
• Nov 11: Unfortunately, our booking system cannot easily exclude this day from the registration - no session due to Remembrance Day.
• Nov 12 4:00-5:15pm (Session 2): Work through modules 3-4
• Nov 13 4:00-5:15pm (Session 3): Work through modules 5-6
• Nov 14 4:00-5:15pm (Final Session): This session will walk through a larger project - creating an online academic portfolio by building and publishing a website using R, Quarto, and GitHub (all free tools)

Come prepared with questions, challenges, and comments. This is a collaborative learning environment where your engagement drives the discussion
