The following pre-recorded lectures provide a short crash course that must be watched before our lecture begins on January 15th. These videos are incomplete and have an ‘informal’ tone. They are solely for the purpose of this workshop and provide basic information before our walk-through. Reach out with additional questions.
1. Installation Videos
The following videos were made to support various OS users in 2023.
-Macos and Window installation video (R and Rstudio): Link
– GOOGLE COLAB USAGE VIDEO* [FOR NON-MACOS, WINDOWS, SMART PHONES, AND TABLETS]: LINK (NO INSTALLATION)
*** Legacy videos (2022) ***
– MacOS Installation Video (R and RStudio): Link

* Note: Google Colab can use all of the R code discussed during the workshop. However, it does not operate with RStudio and therefore not every part of every pre-recorded lecture listed below applies to Google colab. You should still watch each video for when you ultimately engage with RStudio on your own.
