- Class Description:
- The class will have a practical approach, combining discussion and practical exercises. The course is designed to be like a walk-through, starting from collecting and organizing data and ending with advanced graph designs.
The course in the spring will only focus on Excel. There will be additional modules available for more advance Excel users. I will not teach R as part of the class but will make available the R modules and handouts for students that are interested in learning R. Based on demand I might also hold an extra voluntary R session.
- Learning Objectives:
Learn to make better tables- see example below
Learn to make better figures
