Welcome

Welcome to Mastering R for Epidemiologic Research! On this page, you’ll find information about all the content related to the course: videos, exercises, assignments, suggested readings, and so on.

• Required content is just that: core content that you must complete. In this course, required content will generally be recorded lectures and supplementary exercises available on Posit Cloud. We will also have 4 assignments to complete.
• Suggested content is usually a closely-related set of readings, videos, or tutorials. You might find it useful to supplement your learning during the course or to review after the course is over.
• Suggested exercises are a set of additional exercises, usually from R for Data Science, that you might find helpful for more practice.
• Bonus material is usually a deeper dive into the subject or another helpful perspective. You might want to come back to this down the line. These materials can also be helpful if you just need a little more information to fully digest the module content.

Make sure that you have joined the Posit Cloud workspace (click on the Cloud icon at the top of the page).

This course is very hands-on and will require you to complete exercises and assignments in Posit Cloud for each module. See the Setup and Introduction page for more information.

Tip: Make sure you always make a copy of the module in Posit Cloud! The best way to do this is to press the “+ Copy” button. If you don’t, you’ll only make a temporary copy, and your changes won’t be saved until you save a copy of your own.

Note that modules marked “Assignment” will automatically make a copy, as well as save all your changes while you work; you do not need to do anything extra for assignments.
