UBC R Study Group

Welcome to the UBC R Study Group! We are a group of R/Python/Julia/(insert your favourite language) enthusiasts who love data. We are an inclusive group and welcome everyone. Check out our event listings on our website, or join the conversation on our message board. Our regular Wednesday sessions are totally open; no sign-up, registration, or fee is required to attend.

Information for Summer 2021

There will be no study group sessions held over the summer term, so stay tuned to this page for updates on our plan for Fall 2021. In the meantime, if you have a question you would like to ask, feel free to find us on our Slack group, or post your question on our Help Desk, and one of the organizers will try and respond in a timely manner. Check our issues page to find more information and links for both of these options. Cheers & stay safe!

Past Lessons & Schedules

The schedules for past terms and materials for most of our previous lessons are all available in our lessons folder, with contents organized by date. See the README within for tables with all the previous topics for which we have materials posted, to help if you're looking for a particular topic.

For Prospective Organizers

We are always looking for people to lead our sessions! Drop us a line at [email protected] or come to one of our sessions to connect if you are interested in teaching one of the lessons, or if you'd like to help organize the study group.

For Participants

Welcome to our Mozilla Study Group! A few things to do & know now that you're here:

  • Watch this repo: up in the top right, there's a button that says 'Watch'; click it, and set yourself to 'Watching'. This will send you email notifications of new discussions; if you don't want email, but would like an alert just on GitHub, change the setting in Settings -> Notification Center (Settings is the little cog in the top right).
  • Check out the issue tracker: click on 'issues' in the top bar; this is where all the conversations this study groups is having live. Use this space to ask questions, request events, make suggestions, or just say hi!
  • Read the code of conduct: this Study Group is for everyone - we abide by a set of rules that require everyone be treated with respect. Help us make a space where everyone feels welcome, and we'll all have a better time!
  • Add yourself to the website: If you'd like to appear on the website under the 'Who we Are' section, have a look at the _data/members.yml; send us a pull request with an entry for yourself, or open an issue and we'll do it for you. Basically, we need the following information:
- name: your human name
  affiliation: school, lab, department, business....
  github: your GitHub handle
  interests:
    - list one to three
    - different interests
