[R] Learning R

[Dr. Thomas W. MacFarland]

Hi Julia:

I am sure that you will find many useful resources as you attempt to learn
R.

If time permits, please look at the Tegrity-based video that I’ve prepared
for my students:

http://tegrity1.acast.nova.edu/tegrityUtils/GetCourseListing.aspx?Session_In
fo=7KmTs8Wkvvr0/Q0TsCfcur4RNGDvBGYk0jY+RNouoFosZ5zARrXkT5Sh6Kna2HKM 

The video is about one hour in length, it is specific to the needs of
beginners, and it covers the type of concerns that you post in your message.

If you do not have prior experience with Tegrity-based videos, you can
easily show the entire screen just by clicking on the screen maximize icon,
on the right side of the screen.  You can then toggle between full screen
and partial screen by using the Escape (Esc) key.

Good luck with R and your program of studies.  However, you may want to
allow for more than two months to learn R, even if you are a quick study.  

Best wishes.

Dr. Thomas W. MacFarland
