Lab 1: Quick-Start Overview

This first lab in the course is intended to let you get up and running in RStudio Cloud with a minimum of time investment. To that end, we have “flipped” the normal lab sequence a bit. The Quick-Start portion lets you get set up in RStudio Cloud and create a reproducible report in just a few minutes and a few clicks.

Then we take you through step-by-step what you just accomplished in the Quick-Start Debrief. This is intended to give you the beginnings of understanding how R works and how we will use “code chunks” throughout the course. In coming labs, we will do this “Rehearsal” first, but here we wanted to show you that you can do this work in RStudio Cloud.

The final portion of Lab 1 is our Remix and Report section. In the Remix, you will make some edits of the code chunks to create your version of the original analysis.

In the Report, you will answer some questions on Lab 1 and Data Literacy and generate your final lab report which you will submit in the Module 1 Assignment area.

We think most students should be able to complete Lab 1 in less than an hour. If you do get stuck on something, no worries. Just reach out to your instructor and post questions in the Module 1 Questions, Tips, Tricks & Solutions discussion.

Let’s get going with the Quick-Start!
