The Advantages of Reproducible Science Workflows
- Description: During this module I will go through several reasons why you should consider reproducible science workflows. We will go over project organization using the template you downloaded in module #1. At the end of this module you should gain an understanding of why and how to organize your projects
2021
Finding Help Online
- Description: At some point you will run into a problem. This module will go over where and when to ask for help when you run into an issue. One of the main advantages of R over other programming languages is its immense community. In this module I will go over the essentials of finding answers to your specific problems. Students will be encouraged to post a question on GitHub with a specific issue they have encountered throughout the course. We will show examples of “reprex” which stands for “reproducible example”.
2021
Installation and Project Workflows
- Description: One of the largest barriers to using these workflows is the initial setup. You will go through the process of installing the required programs, scripts and files that will be used throughout this workshop. This process is fairly easy, but can also be irritating. With my help you should be able to get through this in about 2 hours.
2021
RMarkdown Essentials
- Description: Over this module we will go over each of the elements that go into an interactive document. This includes: Inserting figures and tables, inserting citations, how to change formatting and knitting your document.
2021
Introductory Statistics #1
- Description: During this module we will go over the process of running an ANOVA and its assumptions. At the end of this module you should gain an understanding of how and when to run an ANOVA on your data. In addition, examples of reporting your ANOVA outputs in APA format will be showcased.
2021
Introductory Statistics #2
- Description: An extension of the previous module, we will go over how to proceed when the output of your ANOVA displays a significant interaction between factors
2021
Data Wrangling
- Description: Data from experiments is rarely organized in the fashion you require to run statistics. In this module we will go over how to “wrangle” or “clean” your data into a suitable format to create tables and figures.
2021
Plotting using the Grammar of Graphics
- Description: During this module we will briefly go over the essentials of ggplot, the main package used to create figures within R.
