This fall, I am a teaching assistant for IBS 519: Introduction to Data Analysis at Emory University. The class is comprised of mostly first year graduate students, many of whom are just getting their feet wet with R programming.
I was tasked with reviewing some of the basic dplyr functions as well as briefly introducing the students to the concept of tidy data and the pivot_longer() function.
I created the slides for this review session with R markdown and the xaringan, xaringanthemer, xaringanExtra, and DT packages. I used a Tidy Tuesday dataset from the American Kennel Club about dog breeds and their associated traits. The ordinal data made it easier for students to filter the dataset based on different traits to identify their ‘ideal dog’.
My slides are below!
