As the course title says, this will be a very basic introduction to R for people with very little to no programming experience (in any language).
The course will give students a general feeling about how programming works, and how to use R to analyse and visualize data. Topics covered will include:
Introduction to programming: variables, functions, basic control structures
Basic arithmetic of vectors and matrices
Data structures, data manipulation, importing and exporting, basic visualization
Using packages, basic statistical functions...
Target group: Students with little to no programming experience. For example, someone who knows already how a for loop or an if/else statement works is likely to be bored in this course!
Prerequisites: None - students just need a laptop with R and RStudio installed
Evaluation: There will be no exam but student have to be present in the classes and the homework will be evaluated (pass/fail)
