Course Resources

  • R, RStudio, and all that…
  • DataCamp: I have set up a DataCamp group for Science Honors. You should have received an email invitation to join. Some important details:
    • Pay no attention to the due dates listed on DataCamp! They have been a bit buggy in the past, so I made the assignment “due dates” rather arbitrary. The real due dates will be posted on the course website.
    • as a member of this group you have access to all of DataCamp’s premium content, not just the assigned material
  • woRkshop ggplot-intro raw .Rmd file is here
