R2: Data Transformation Mastery: From dplyr to ggplot in R

***IMPORTANT: PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN LAPTOP WITH DOWNLOADED SOFTWARE*** for workshops scheduled at Morgridge Hall! There are no desktop computers at this location and only a limited number of laptops to check-out from the front desk.

Download R:  and RStudio for free prior to class (follow steps 1 and 2): https://posit.co/download/rstudio-desktop/

When using R and RStudio you’ll find yourself using imported packages frequently. There are so many shortcuts and easy tricks that have been developed and put into packages for our use, it’d be a waste not to utilize them. This workshop introduces some of the most common shortcuts and packages, including the popular tidyverse, which is essential for  “tidying” up data for easier processing.

Note: If you are using your own device for this workshop, you may want to install the tidyverse package ahead of time. Feel free to contact STS for help installing and configuring this package.

Topics Covered Include:

• Installing R Packages (tidyverse)
• Manipulating data frames with Dplyr
• Visualizing data basis with ggplot
