Intro to R (no coding experience) (L .Borland)
Wednesday, July 3, 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m., via Zoom
This is an introductory workshop to R for beginners. We will follow a shortened version of the Software Carpentry lesson “Programming with R." We will talk about reading data with R and organizing it in variables, vectors, and matrices. We will perform some basic operations on the data (mean, maximums, minimums), create some visualizations, and save them. We will talk about writing R scripts and functions. We recommend that you install R and RStudio in your own computer for the workshop, but you can also access it via Citrix. For information about setting up R in your computer visit https://rstudio-education.github.io/hopr/starting.html.

Tuesday, July 16, 1:00 - 3:30 p.m., via Zoom
If you will be doing research that involves collecting survey data, then you'll want to learn about Qualtrics. Qualtrics is a powerful survey research tool (think Survey Monkey on steroids) available to all OSU faculty and students. It's easy, powerful and, best of all, IRB compliant. This session will include content covered in both the Intro to Qualtrics and Intermediate/Advanced Qualtrics sessions.

QGIS Intermediate (Adam Lindsley)
Wednesday, July 24, 10:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., via Zoom
Now that you've picked up the basics of QGIS, learn how to manipulate and analyze your data. In Intermediate QGIS, we'll use the available spatial analysis tools to generate new insights into the material covered in the Basics workshop. We'll use the raster calculator, join fields in databases, create hillshades, and make more complex, finished maps. This workshop builds on the QGIS Basics workshop and may be difficult to follow if you have not taken Basics.
NOTE: This workshop is provided via Zoom only; you must install QGIS on your own machine prior to the event to follow along.
