Welcome to BIO 593

The class “BIO 593: Special topics in R” is an outgrowth of the rhodyRstats study group meetings. In those meetings we had guest speaekers present on a variety of R topics and packages. This course builds on this format. We will work in groups and each group will develop a presentation on an R topic chosen by the class. Each group will be responsible for developing the materials (as an R Markdown document) and then presenting those materials in class. During the first class we will introduce R Markdown, the format required for submitting your presentation materials and we will set the schedule for the rest of the semester.
