About this workshop

In the spring of 2013, I co-taught a short course on R with my colleague Cari Bogulski. The goal of the workshop was to teach students in Penn State’s Department of Psychology and Center for Language Science how to use R for their research. Many of the students had no prior programming knowledge, and we felt it was important to set the course at this level so that beginners can begin to realize the awesome power of programming. I’m hoping that the same goals can be achieved in this shorter workshop!

Many of the materials for this workshop (including some of the fake datasets and exercises) have been repurposed for this class.
