Data Wrangling in R (Independent Study)

This workshop has sessions on multiple days. You should plan to attend all the sessions.

These office hours are designed to support anyone working through SSCC's Introduction to R (Week 1) and Data Wrangling in R (Weeks 2-8) independently. (SSCC members with general R questions should use SSCC's regular statistical consulting services.) Bring questions, or learn from listening to the answers to others' questions. Requests to work through the exercises are also welcome. However, it is expected that you'll read the course material ahead of time and attempt the exercises on your own.

The following is the suggested schedule. To help build a learning community, questions about the week's suggested topics will get priority.
