Carver Charitable Trust<\/a> to Grinnell College, this workshop focuses on incorporating data-based decision making and visualization techniques into courses from all disciplines. We also hope to promote connections among faculty with similar teaching and research interests, and to conceive, vet, and implement curricular materials (syllabi, instructional modules, assignments, and labs) that cultivate in students the skills to organize, filter, analyze, and display data sets of increasing size and complexity. We also hope to foster conversations among participants about the place of these topics in the liberal arts curriculum.<\/p>\n This gathering aims to engage faculty who have an interest to better prepare students in meeting the challenges of formatting, analyzing, and visualizing increasingly complex and large data sets.<\/p>\n The most successful participants have either arrived with a specific topic of interest or have attended as part of a team of 2 or more faculty from the same institution, often with one of the members being someone with experience with statistics. Preference will be given to applicants that fall into either of these groupings.<\/p>\n The 3 day workshop starts at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, June 11 and will have two distinct tracks.<\/p>\n The first track is intended for faculty with little or no previous R experience and will provide an introduction to using R and RStudio for data visualization and analysis focusing on:<\/p>\n The second track is intended for faculty with more previous R experience and will:<\/p>\n The workshop will be led by Nick Horton<\/a> (Professor of Statistics, Amherst College), Danny Kaplan<\/a> (DeWitt Wallace Professor of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science, Macalester College), and Randy Pruim<\/a> (Professor of Mathematics and Statistics, Calvin College).<\/p>\n For questions about workshop content, please contact Shonda Kuiper<\/a>, Grinnell College.<\/p>\n Thanks to the generous support of the Roy J.
