Virginia Commonwealth faculty and the non-profit Georgia R School have scheduled two live, synchronous, interactive, 5-week online jan-feb courses: (1) Fundamentals of Using R; and (2) Introduction to Graphics with R. Each course is essential to anyone who intends to use R for any purpose whatsoever. Each course meets for 3 hours weekly for 4 weeks after an initial 'pre-session' orientation meeting. Registration costs per course (USD): $225 student; $295 faculty; and $325 practitioner, includes live participation, all slides, exercises, data sets, and class materials, and complete, permanent, desktop recordings of all audio and video from the live, online class sessions.
