Once you have the basics down, it's time to do some work in R. This course will give you the tools you need to do fundamental data wrangling and analysis, data visualization, and reporting work.

The course covers three topics:

  1. RMarkdown

  2. Data wrangling and analysis

  3. Data visualization

Each topic has a series of lessons. Please go through the lessons in order (you'll be very confused if you don't!). If you get any messages about needing to complete earlier lessons, make sure you've hit the mark complete button. Here's what it looks like:

As in the Getting Started with R course , most lessons have an exercise for you to complete. I invite you to do these on your own before looking at the solution section (which is hidden by default to help you avoid the temptation of looking!). Once you are ready, the solution section will have videos and sample files so that you can check your work.

If you're really interested, there is a GitHub repo with all of the code used as part of this course. If you don't want to be overwhelmed with everything there, here are links to specific pieces.
