Hello Davis R Users,
Long time subscriber, first time poster. I’m also a long time SPSS user who is easing
into using R, but it’s going a lot slower than I’d prefer, so I’m interested in
taking an R course here on campus this upcoming year. I see that STA141 is being offered in the
fall. Does anybody know if the
instructor allows grad students to audit?
I’m in my dissertation year and have a family, so I’d prefer to not
formally enroll if I don’t have to -- though I certainly intend to come to class and do the work. I emailed Duncan Temple Lang a few weeks
ago to ask him about auditing but never heard back. He probably gets dozens of those
kinds of emails, plus its summer.
If STA141 doesn’t work out for me for whatever reason, can anybody recommend another R course that is being offered this year? Most of the ones listed on Noam Ross’ website seem to focus on specific applications and only teach R incidentally in service of those applications, whereas I’m looking for a more general R course.
Thanks in advance for the advice!
Jimmy

Hi all,
Hot on the heels of the last Software Carpentry, here's another!
Software Carpentry is pleased to announce that the latest in our series of
workshops for women in science and engineering will be held at UC Davis on
August 17-18, 2015. This workshop is aimed at those in science,
engineering, medicine, or related fields who identify as women, female, or
on the non-binary spectrum. Our instructors are experienced with creating
safe spaces for those on the trans* spectrum, and one openly identifies as
a trans woman; ensuring that we maintain an inclusive environment is a top
priority for this workshop. For more information, or to register, please
see the workshop website:
http://camillescott.github.io/2015-08-16-ucdavis-wise/
Topics for this SWC will be :
- Automating tasks with the Unix shell
- Building programs with Python
- Version control with Git
- Managing data with SQL
Just like in speech, it's super helpful to know a second language! Even if
you are mostly an R user it's useful to pick up some Python, and everything
else in this workshop complements R, as well.
As always, sign up before all the spots are taken!
