R: tidyverse for Data Science
R is a powerful, wide-spread and freely available language and environment for statistical computing and graphics.
This twelve-hour-course for intermediate R users focuses on the tidyverse, a collection of R packages for data science. The course is a mixture between brief presentations, demonstrations (on-screen, using R and RStudio) and supervised exercises (“learning by doing”).

Students and employees of the University of Zurich. This course is particularly suitable for students at the BSc/MSc-level.
Handouts will be distributed during the course. Furthermore, the book from Wickham und Grolemund (Wickham, Hadley; Grolemund, Garrett (2017): R for data science, import, tidy, transform, visualize, and model data, Sebastopol, O'Reilly) would help learners to deepen their understanding of R for data science. It is however no prerequisite for this course.
