## Description
Reproducibility and open scientific practices are increasingly being
requested or required of scientists and researchers, but training on
these practices has not kept pace. This workshop intends to help bridge
that gap and covers the fundamentals and workflow of data analysis in R.
This repository contains the lesson, lecture, and assignment material
for the workshop, including the website source files and other
associated workshop administration files.
For more detail on the workshop, check out the [welcome
page](https://r-cubed-intro.rostools.org/) and the
[syllabus](https://r-cubed-intro.rostools.org/overview/syllabus.html).
For re-using and learning more about the workshop, check out our
[paper](paper.md) describing it.
This repository contains the lesson, lecture, and assignment material

## Instructional Design
The lectures and lessons in this workshop are designed to be presented
primarily with a participatory live-coding approach. This involves an
teacher typing and running code in an editor or similar platform in
front of the class, while the class follows along using their own
computers. Exercises are interspersed in the lesson material, allowing
participants to collaboratively work on smaller coding problems for a
few minutes. All lesson materials are provided ahead of time on the
workshop website for participants to refer to during lectures.
## Lesson content
The teaching material is found mainly in these locations:
- `index.Rmd`: Contains the overview of the workshop.
- `overview/` folder: Contains the files that give an overview to the
workshop, such as the syllabus and schedule.
- `pre-workshop/`: Contains the files needed before the workshop, like
the pre-workshop tasks.
- `sessions/`: Contains the files used during the workshop (e.g.
code-along material).
- `appendix/`: Contains the files used to support the workshop, such as
code of conduct, changelog, contributing guides, and instructions for
teachers.
- `slides/`: Contains the lecture slides that are rendered into HTML
slides from Markdown.
The website is generated with [Quarto](https://quarto.org/), so it
follows the file and folder structure conventions from that package.
## Support and infrastructure files
- `.copier-answers.yml`: Contains the answers you gave when copying the
project from the template. **You should not modify this file
directly.**
- `.cz.toml`:
[Commitizen](https://commitizen-tools.github.io/commitizen/)
configuration file for managing versions and changelogs.
- `.pre-commit-config.yaml`: [Pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/)
configuration file for managing and running checks before each commit.
- `.typos.toml`: [typos](https://github.com/crate-ci/typos) spell
checker configuration file.
- `.zenodo.json`: Structured citation metadata for your project when
archived on [Zenodo](https://zenodo.org/). This is used to add the
metadata to Zenodo when a GitHub release has been uploaded to Zenodo.
- `justfile`: [`just`](https://just.systems/man/en/) configuration file
for scripting project tasks.
- `.editorconfig`: Editor configuration file for
[EditorConfig](https://editorconfig.org/) to maintain consistent
coding styles across different editors and IDEs.
- `CHANGELOG.md`: Changelog file for tracking changes in the project.
- `CONTRIBUTING.md`: Guidelines for contributing to the project.
- `.github/`: Contains GitHub-specific files, such as issue and pull
request templates, workflows,
[dependabot](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/getting-started/dependabot-quickstart-guide)
configuration, pull request templates, and a
[CODEOWNERS](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/about-code-owners)
file.

## Re-use
The workshop is largely designed to be taught in the order given, as
each session builds off of the previous ones. The easiest way to use
this material is to use it as-is, making use of the tips and
instructions found throughout this page. The only thing you might want
to make as your own would be the slides, however, they are also good
enough to use on their own too.
To help with general admin tasks of running the workshop, there is the
[samwise](https://github.com/rostools/samwise) R package.
