Short Courses

Fall 2023 LISA Short Courses

The LISA/CRDDS Coding in R Workshop Series is a collaboration between LISA, the Center for Research Data and Digital Scholarship (CRDSS), and Research Computing to teach R to statistically analyze research problems. Slides and short course materials have been posted to the LISA/CRDDS Short Courses, specifically . This Fall, Ellery Galvin is teaching several short courses. The schedule is available on a CRDDS website. To register, find the course on the CRDDS page or elsewhere on the CRDDS website. The goal of this R Workshop Series is for graduate students, faculty, and others to learn the basics of R and then build upon these foundations to use R to advance research and teaching. We are developing optional assessment exercises for participants to ensure that they have learned the material.
