“I would definitely recommend this course to any beginner in R. An insightful and comprehensive foundation to coding.”
“I had some background knowledge in R, but needed to refresh my memory for my PhD data analysis. I expected a dull and slow course, but instead was pleasantly surprised when the course was easy to follow, snappy and very informative! I left the workshop feeling confident using R going forward - I definitely recommend this course for anyone who needs to use R!”
“This course was a very good introduction to the basic workings of R and RStudio. After completing this course I now feel comfortable with basic scripting, reading/summarising data and creating/exporting plots. Two hours very well spent!”
