SUMMARY:QCL Workshop - R: Programming Basics - Level 1
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nVirtual Event \n\nYou have data and you need a tool to do something with it. Whether you’re a data scientist\, political scientist\, economist\, or biologist\, it’s increasingly apparent that data is ever-present and we need to do a little statistics\, a little visualization\, and a little manipulation of this data. That is precisely what the programming language R is built for. In this workshop\, we will cover the basics of getting started with R and R Studio. \nLearning Objectives: (You will learn how to) \n– Understand the R-Studio environment on the cloud \n– Use the console for basic statistics tools \n– Produce documents with plots of your data findings \nPre-requisites \n– Posit Cloud account; if you don’t have one yet\, please create a new account at https://posit.cloud/ \n– No prior experience with R or any programming is needed. \nParticipants \nAll CMC Students\, Faculty\, and Staff

SUMMARY:QCL Workshop - LaTeX: Equation Writing - Level 1
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nVirtual Event \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[QCL Workshop] Equation Writing with LaTeX (Level 1) \nSummary \nEver wonder how your professor writes mathematical symbols\, equations\, and formulas so easily for your assignments? Ever been frustrated with the limitations and clumsiness of Microsoft’s Equation Editor when writing your lab assignments? Is the technical and aesthetic formatting of your senior thesis driving you crazy? The solution to all these problems is to learn LaTeX\, a document preparation system that makes writing mathematics simple and creates consistent formatting. \nIn this workshop\, we will step through the set-up of getting started with Overleaf to compile your first document. The first half of the workshop will go through the basics of LaTeX and writing math equations so you can start turning in clear solutions to your homework assignments online. The second half delves into formatting and referencing sections\, displaying figures\, using packages\, and citing sources\, enough to produce a professional senior thesis or publishable manuscript. \nPre-requisites \nThe entire workshop will be done through Zoom\, so please have a stable internet connection. \nParticipants \nOpen to all CMC Staff\, Faculty and Students

SUMMARY:QCL Workshop - R: Exploring Data - Level 2
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nVirtual Event \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou have data and you need a tool to do something with it. Whether you’re a data scientist\, political scientist\, economist\, or biologist\, it’s increasingly apparent that data is ever-present and we need to do a little statistics\, a little visualization\, and a little manipulation of this data. That is precisely what the programming language R is built for. In this workshop\, we will cover the basics of getting started with R and R Studio. \nLearning Objectives: (You will learn how to) \n– Understand the R-Studio environment on the cloud \n– Use the console for basic statistics tools \n– Produce documents with plots of your data findings \nPre-requisites \n– Posit Cloud account; if you don’t have one yet\, please create a new account at https://posit.cloud/ \n– No prior experience with R or any programming is needed. \nParticipants \nAll CMC Students\, Faculty\, and Staff
