2023-01-23-ucsb-r	Familiarizing myself with R
2023-01-23-ucsb-r	Learn how to use R
2023-01-23-ucsb-r	I would like to learn how to use R and to troubleshoot. I am a researcher and hope to become a graduate student soon so these skills are absolutely essential.
2023-01-23-ucsb-r	Learning R to use at a comfortable level
2023-01-23-ucsb-r	an introduction into data science and data analysis
2023-01-23-ucsb-r	A lot of workshops teach how to write basic arguments/focus more on the coding aspect of R, but often what I have the most trouble with is understanding how to bring my OWN data into R and work with it, or how to format data I currently have in Excel in a way that is functional in R
2023-01-23-ucsb-r	I hope to gain a deeper understanding of R and learn how it can be used to make analyses more efficient
2023-01-23-ucsb-r	I took Pols15 a few years ago which was a course in R, really enjoyed it and did well but have since forgotten literally everything and want to make sure I have those skills fresh for when I graduate
2023-01-23-ucsb-r	Be able to use R studio confidently
2023-01-23-ucsb-r	I hope to learn the basics of using R for eventual use in my educational research!
2023-01-23-ucsb-r	how to use python and learn how to use these technologies for future use

2023-01-23-ucsb-r	Instructors provide me a lot of information about additional opportunities in data science
2023-01-23-ucsb-r	At first, I was completely lost, and all of the were very patient and supported me individually so I could ended up catching up with the explanations.
