Tidyverse Skills for Data Science in R
Course Modules

The Tidyverse Skills for Data Science in R course modules cover introduction to the Tidyverse, importing data, data wrangling, data visualization, and data modeling with a focus on practical application.

Introduction to the Tidyverse

Participants will learn to distinguish between tidy and non-tidy data and describe the Tidyverse ecosystem of packages. They will also gain the skills to organize and initialize a data science project.

Importing Data in the Tidyverse

Students will be able to describe different data formats, apply Tidyverse functions to import data into R from external formats, and obtain data from a web API.

Wrangling Data in the Tidyverse

Participants will apply Tidyverse functions to transform non-tidy data to tidy data, conduct basic exploratory data analysis, and analyze text data.

Visualizing Data in the Tidyverse

Students will distinguish between various types of plots and their uses, use the ggplot2 R package to develop data visualizations, build effective data summary tables, and create data animations for visual storytelling.

Modeling Data in the Tidyverse

Participants will describe different types of data analytic questions, conduct hypothesis tests of data, apply linear modeling techniques to answer multivariable questions, and apply machine learning workflows to detect complex patterns in data.
