You are invited to participate in a research study being conducted at Wake Forest University. The purpose of the research is to examine best practices for teaching R programming.
Your participation in the study will take about 1.5 hours.
Participation in this study involves:
Completing a survey of demographic information
Completing 6 modules on programming topics in R
Completing 3 assessments: a pre-assessment to determine prior programming experience, a mid-assessment between the 3rd and 4th module, and a post-assessment at the completion of the 6th module
he order of the 6 modules will be randomized. The risks from participating in this study are not more than would be encountered in everyday life.
From participating in this study, I hope the study will help you learn R and help inform best practices for teaching R in the future.
