In this lab, students will be introduced to R and RStudio, and create a map in RStudio using the leaflet package. This introductory module is meant for students who are familiar with basic computer system use but have little to no experience with R. It covers the following:
- What packages, libraries, and documentation are in the context of RStudio
- Carrying out basic calculations with R
- Importing csv data into R from a URL
