revamp learning guide for R

[hannesdatta]

@RoyKlaasseBos

objective: complete novices should be able to familiarize themselves with R

scope: this is a basic course for anybody from the marketing management or marketing analytics programs to get a first glimpse of R.

locations:

• hosted at tilburg science hub (currently: http://tilburgsciencehub.com/tips/learn_R/)
• concurrently part of https://github.com/hannesdatta/course-dprep; dprep.hannesdatta.com

principles:

• targeted at absolute novices
• use existing material ("curation"), rather than developing new video tutorials
• assume 100-200 students per year following this class

example things to discuss:

• quick primer on data, data structure, and why we need data to make better decisions
• downloading of RStudio, and introduction to interface
• using R - the very simple steps (e.g., loading data, loading packages, calculating means, etc.)
• maybe develop one exercise with MC test (pass/fail), where we present students with a marketing data set and they have to do a couple of exercises on it

tips:

• make use of publicly available courses to follow (e.g., data camp)
• one notebook, with a marketing application that summarizes the learning with maybe exercises
  o "this is a marketing data set with sales on a given day per brand"
  o opdracht: load the data, do a t-test
  o calculate means
  o ...
