@jsteyn also posted in slack my proposed text for the R workshop Description in https://workshops.ncl.ac.uk/admin/core/workshop/27005. I've taken it from https://swcarpentry.github.io/r-novice-gapminder/ and our Python workshop description. Workshop: Programming with R Default description:

This workshop makes part of a three-day Software Carpentry workshop but can be taken on its own.
R is a general-purpose programming language that is useful for writing scripts to work effectively and reproducibly with data.  The goal of this workshop is to teach best practices for using R for data analysis. Note that this workshop will focus on teaching the fundamentals of the programming language R, and will not teach statistical analysis.
This is an introduction to R designed for participants with no programming experience. You need to understand that computers store data and instructions (programs, scripts etc.) in files. Files are organised in directories (folders). Know how to access files not in the working directory by specifying the path.

Check that this is the Lesson Used: https://swcarpentry.github.io/r-novice-gapminder/

I would just leave out the last three sentences: "You need to understand that computers store data and instructions (programs, scripts etc.) in files. Files are organised in directories (folders). Know how to access files not in the working directory by specifying the path."

The rest is okay.
