Please see R Training registration & assessment linked here. This is intended to capture skills across all 4 sessions. Provide comments in this issue.

to be added - is there an intro video that can be linked in the registration for participants to watch prior to the training ? Ideally this would be something to familiarize participants w/the layout of R/RStudio and address any basic questions before the training.

Thanks!

Thanks @shapaklyak! I've attached my feedback below and sent you an email. Let me know if I should make the changes to the pre-assessment!

• push back assessment close date to 8/10? We can send out assessment on Monday 7/30 with an announcement at inbrief • bold ‘and’ in instructions to download both R and Rstudio – want to make sure folks have both • also add text in intro text saying the training will tentatively be split into 4 sessions: o Session 1: R basics & Data Manipulation o Session 2: More Data Manipulation o Session 3: Even More Data Manipulation (wanted to avoid saying ‘advanced’ to scare ppl off) o Session 4: Data Visualization • in Agency question, SAMHSA has a typo • I would move open ended questions 1 & 2 (see below) to after ‘will you attend’ question since at the end of survey, folks may not have motivation/patience to type out open ended answers

For intro text as well: Good intro video on Using RStudio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riONFzJdXcs How to download R & RStudio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZbjUEg4a1g Coding Basics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYclmg1_KLk&t=0s&list=PLqzoL9-eJTNBDdKgJgJzaQcY6OXmsXAHU&index=4

the only thing I could think of that I didn't comment on was office hours. Perhaps next week, we have a follow up meeting where we discuss progress and determine office hours and delegation of other tasks.

thanks @shazadahmed10 for the comments. i've made updates in the survey. https://goo.gl/forms/ttz4boodSwK3vDYf1

@achafetz were you planning to review?

jb3436 commented 6 years ago

I think that for the intro part of the assessment we should remove the links to resources. It makes it look really busy. We can include the links in the email we send out and in the email we send to people confirming their registration. What do you think @shazadahmed10 @shapaklyak @achafetz

I made updates to the form (linked here)
