Faculty Crash Courses

Faculty Accelerated Crash Courses

Our Accelerator Crash Courses are designed to provide to provide a space for women to learn more than just the basics about a topic. These workshops are highly collaborative and interactive and are intended to encourage further in-depth and independent learning of the subject matter.

These workshops typically occur on a Saturday and/or Sunday, and last 6+ hours. Lunch is provided at each session. Because of the popularity of these workshops and the limited seats, attendees must apply for a seat at each workshop.

The courses are offered for Students and Faculty. They are open to any IU Bloomington student or faculty.

If you have a suggestion for a topic on which you'd like to see us offer an ACC, email us at cewit@indiana.edu.

R with Shiny Accelerator Crash Course Part 2

Olga Scrivner joins us again for this Faculty Accelerator Crash Course. (Ph.D. Students are welcome too!) We'll begin with a short introduction to R, and then transition to Shiny, a data visualization ad-on package in R. There will also be time for personal project consultation and how to turn ideas into tangible consultation.
