About this Course

This course includes a series of four lessons designed for beginner to intermediate R users interested in working with R on Biowulf. The purpose of this course is to introduce the various ways to use R on Biowulf, while emphasizing reproducible practices such as project organization and R package dependency management. This course is not designed for advanced R users.  

Course participants must have a Biowulf account to follow along with course material. In addition, attendees should have beginner level knowledge of working on the Unix command line, Biowulf, and R.
