Resource
Case Study
Dr. Dai obtained his PhD degree from UC Davis after graduating from the University of Hong Kong in 2013. In his course, students learn the basics of data acquisition and analysis with R. The open textbook that Dr. Dai uses is "R for Data Science," a collaboratively developed open text which is free to access online and only $20 to order in print. Because the OER is interactive, it allows students to copy and test out code as they learn it in their course, reinforcing key concepts for learners.
