Resolve to learn something new this year and attend an Open Workshop!

We kick off a new semester of Hirsh Open Workshops with a two part workshop on R, an open source programming language used to manipulate, analyze, and visualize data.

Workshops will be held in Sackler 510 on Tuesdays from 9-10am and repeated on Wednesdays from 3-4pm

Introduction to R
Register: Tuesday, January 23, 2018  – 9:00am – 10:00am

Register: Wednesday, January 24, 2018  – 3:00pm – 4:00pm

Description: R is an open source programming language used to manipulate, analyze, and visualize data. Researchers and health professionals can use it to convey complex information in a manner that is easy to understand.  The flexibility of R allows large amounts of data to be processed and represented in ways that spreadsheet programs cannot.  This introductory, hands-on workshop provides a brief overview of how R works and what it is capable of. No prior experience with R or programming languages is required.

Visualizing Data with R
Register: Tuesday, January 30, 2018 – 9:00am – 10:00am

Register: Wednesday, January 31, 2018 – 3:00pm – 4:00pm

Description: In this hands-on workshop, users will be introduced to R packages used for data visualization. This session includes data visualization exercises utilizing a sample data set.  Prior experience with R or completion of the Hirsh Library’s “Introduction to “R” open workshop is recommended.
