Data are the foundations of the social and biological sciences and humanities. Familiarizing yourself with a programming language can help you better understand the roles that data play in your field. This workshop will teach you to use base R to build a programming vocabulary to develop and train your data skills! The D-Lab's R Fundamentals workshop is a four-part introductory series that will teach you R from scratch with clear introductions, concise examples, and support documents. You will learn how to download and install the open-sourced R Studio software, understand data and basic manipulations, import and subset data, explore and visualize data, and understand the basics of automation in the form of loops and functions. After completion of this workshop you will have a foundational understanding to create, organize, and utilize workflows for your personal research.
