Using R for data analysis

R is an open-source, free environment/language for statistical computing and graphics. It provides a large repository of statistical analysis methods. The goal of the course is to teach students how the R language, extended by tidyverse package, can be used to build a report with a simple statistical analysis of data provided in a table. The course assumes no prior programming knowledge. This is not a statistics course! *(see comment below on page). Elementary statistics knowledge is necessary to understand examples.
