1.2 Structure and resources
1.2.1 Workshop schedule
Each day will have a slightly different schedule, but you can expect a mix of synchronous and asynchronous work sessions, as well as two breaks in that day’s workshop.
Please visit each day’s specific page for the exact schedule:
Each time segment lists who among the teaching team will be around to assist. We encourage you to poke the Slack channel (so below for info) with questions, but you can feel free to tag (@) or directly message the person responsible for the time slot/content you have questions about.
1.2.2 Asynchronous sessions
Asynchronous here means self-paced learning that takes place off-Zoom.
You will be expected to progress through this website during asynchronous work time in this 3-day period. We developed this website/document for your reference, as a living textbook and collection of “slides” and code snippets.
As you go through this website during the asynchronous sessions, you should also complete the exercises provided in the accompanying worksheets. If you have questions and/or need help, you should reach out to us and your peers on Slack. We are also happy to jump into a Zoom call to work through issues with you.
Tips:
- You can shrink the table of contents (left) by clicking the four lines icon in the top menu.
- You can click on footnotes 2.
1.2.2.1 Slack channel
While you are working in asynchronous sessions, or if you just need help during the remainder of your program, there is a Slack channel available where you can go for ideas/help. The channel is called #learn-R and should be accessible to you on the SSRP Slack server.
1.2.3 Synchronous sessions
Synchronous here means live, group learning that takes place on-Zoom.
During synchronous meetings, you should plan to work directly with your peers and us on focused tasks. We will also be there to help with confusing or challenging topics that you want to discuss with someone live.
During the schedule synchronous session (check each day’s schedule for timing), you should log on to the provided Zoom link.
