Intro to R for UX Researchers

This three-day course is your chance to expand your data analysis toolkit and master statistical analysis, visualization, and storytelling techniques for UX Research with the R programming language. There are ZERO prerequisites (besides installing a bit of software), and the class is available for anyone to join, from junior to senior researchers, as well as non-researchers like PMs, designers, data scientists, etc. "Intro to R" takes place over a 10-hour curriculum: three 3-hour days, plus one 1-hour optional first orientation day. There are two planned schedules for this course: one during the week, and one across weekends. If the timing of available classes does not fit your calendar, keep an eye out for future cohorts and their respective timing. Intro to R is part of the User Research Fundamentals curriculum, a course series covering qualitative and quantitative UX Research methods, as well as strategic and foundational UX Research topics.
