Teaching Writing Process (Coursera)

https://www.coursera.org/learn/teaching-writing-process

Half a century ago, a revolution took place in the teaching of writing. Educators asked, “What if we were to study how professional writers wrote, as a way to learn how we might teach writing more effectively?” The result was the writing process movement, with its emphasis on not just writing as product but as process. Good writing doesn’t magically appear, nor does it spring from the brain fully formed and perfect the first time. Instead, all writers engage in a process, and while that process

Health data are notable for how many types there are, how complex they are, and how serious it is to get them straight. These data are used for treatment of the patient from whom they derive, but also for other uses. Examples of such secondary use of health data include population health (e.g., who requires more attention), research (e.g., which drug is more effective in practice), quality (e.g., is the institution meeting benchmarks), and translational research (e.g., are new technologies being

Visualizing Data in the Tidyverse (Coursera)

https://www.coursera.org/learn/tidyverse-visualize-data

Data visualization is a critical part of any data science project. Once data have been imported and wrangled into place, visualizing your data can help you get a handle on what’s going on in the data set. Similarly, once you’ve completed your analysis and are ready to present your findings, data visualizations are a highly effective way to communicate your results to others. In this course we will cover what data visualization is and define some of the basic types of data visualizations. In thi

The second half of the course will delve into the computation and interpretation of uncertainty. We’ll discuss how to conduct

Wrangling Data in the Tidyverse (Coursera)

https://www.coursera.org/learn/tidyverse-data-wrangling

Data never arrive in the condition that you need them in order to do effective data analysis.
