R is a powerful, open-source programming language designed for data analysis, making it an essential tool for any data analyst or evaluator. This hands-on workshop introduces participants to the fundamentals of R, equipping them with the skills needed to perform exploratory data analysis, clean datasets, and create visualizations that drive decision-making.

Using real-world data, you’ll gain practical experience navigating the R programming environment. From basic syntax and data manipulation to summarizing results and producing impactful charts, this workshop will give you a solid foundation in R for data analysis.

What You’ll Learn

• Exploratory Data Analysis: Understand how to explore and summarize datasets using R’s powerful data analysis capabilities.

• Data Cleaning: Learn essential techniques to clean and prepare data for analysis, ensuring accurate and actionable insights.

• Visualization in R: Discover how to create compelling charts, graphs, and data visualizations that communicate your findings effectively.

• Introduction to R Syntax: Familiarize yourself with the basic syntax and functions in R, allowing you to navigate the environment with confidence.

• Elementary Programming Concepts: Gain exposure to basic programming concepts that will allow you to manipulate and structure data for analysis.

• Supplementary Packages in R: Learn about popular R packages that extend R’s functionality for data visualization and analysis.

What You’ll Get

• 5+ hours of pre-recorded content divided into learning modules, so you can learn at a time and pace that works best for you

• Practice exercises
