Learning Objectives

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

- Use R basic syntax.

- Load and save files in R.

- Clean and manipulate data.

Part 1: Setup and Loading Data

First, we need a library called tidyverse to work on our project. If you get an error message when you click play button , that means you don’t have tidyverse in your work environment. You can then write install.packages("tidyverse") in the Console area below before leading the library.

Using the dataset(s) provided in the data folder in the Files pane, your goal for this module is to familiarize yourself with your data.

Or alternatively, you may use your own data set. If you do decide to use your own data set you must : Load data to start working with data. To do so, you will need to load it into R.

Part 2: Wrangle

For the practice with me we will use sci-online-classes.csv.

In the chunk called read-data below:

  1. Import the sci-online-classes.csv from the data folder (check the files pane on the right side->) and save as a new object called data.
  2. Then inspect your data using a function of your choice.

Also, in R, a pound sign(#) indicates a comment that will not be evaluated. You can use as many times as you want.

# Import/load the dataset
data <- read_csv("data/sci-online-classes.csv")
Rows: 603 Columns: 30
── Column specification ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Delimiter: ","
chr  (6): course_id, subject, semester, section, Gradebook_Item, Gender
dbl (23): student_id, total_points_possible, total_points_earned, percentage...
lgl  (1): Grade_Category

ℹ Use `spec()` to retrieve the full column specification for this data.
ℹ Specify the column types or set `show_col_types = FALSE` to quiet this message.
# Inspect your data (feel free to use head(), str(), or summary())

Exploring Data

Question: What have you found from the dataset? Share one or two things you found interesting (e.g., missing data, data they collected, type of the variables, repetitive data)

  • [Some things that I found interesting within the data set is that there is missing data. The missing data is represented by NA. Another thing that I found interesting was the data gathered. We are only focusing on using 1st Qu. and 3rd Qu.information as variables.]

Cleaning Data

Let’s handle missing values and remove any irrelevant columns.

# Remove rows with missing values
data_clean <- na.omit(data)

# Check the first couple of rows
head(data_clean)
# A tibble: 0 × 30
# ℹ 30 variables: student_id <dbl>, course_id <chr>,
#   total_points_possible <dbl>, total_points_earned <dbl>,
#   percentage_earned <dbl>, subject <chr>, semester <chr>, section <chr>,
#   Gradebook_Item <chr>, Grade_Category <lgl>, FinalGradeCEMS <dbl>,
#   Points_Possible <dbl>, Points_Earned <dbl>, Gender <chr>, q1 <dbl>,
#   q2 <dbl>, q3 <dbl>, q4 <dbl>, q5 <dbl>, q6 <dbl>, q7 <dbl>, q8 <dbl>,
#   q9 <dbl>, q10 <dbl>, TimeSpent <dbl>, TimeSpent_hours <dbl>, …

Question: What did you discover from the ‘data_clean’? Why do you think this doesn’t work?

  • [When I tried to execute the ‘data_clean’ nothing happened. The reason I think that nothing occurred was because the information was not specific enough.]

Let’s try again with a specific variable. Select one variable from the dataset that you think should be deleted if the value of the variable is missing.

# For example, when you look at the value of FinalGradeCEMS, there are many 'NA's. 
# Let's remove rows where FinalGradeCEMS is missing
data_clean <- data %>%
  filter(!is.na(FinalGradeCEMS))

# Check the result and see whether FinalGradeCEMS has any more missing data
# TYPE YOUR CODE BELOW. USE HEAD() FUNCTION.
head(data)
# A tibble: 6 × 30

Part 3: Manipulating Data

We’ll now perform some basic data manipulation, such as selecting, filtering, and creating new variables.

Task: Use the select() function to select student_id, subject, semester, and FinalGradeCEMS. Assign the result to a new object.

Hint If you want to ONLY select and save student_id and FinalGradeCEMS, you can use, select (data, student_id, FinalGradeCEMS)

# Now TYPE YOUR CODE here for the task mentioned above.
selected_data <- select(data, student_id)

# INSPECT YOUR DATA (USE SUMMARY() FUNCTION)

What do you notice about FinalGradeCEMS? (Hint: NAs?)

  • [There is NA values and missing informatin within the data set
    FinalGradeCEMS. With knowledge of this informatin, we can either locate the missing information or delete it from the dataset.] {possible answer: I notice NA values indicating missing data. This requires handling either by imputation or removal depending on the analysis requirements.}

Task: In code chunk named select-2 select all columns except subjectand section. Assign to a new object. Inspect your data frame.

Hint: You can use - symbol with the variable name(s) you want to exclude. For example, select(data, -semester)

# TYPE YOUR CODE HERE
reduced_data <- select(data, -semester)
select(data, course_id, total_points_possible, total_points_earned,
percentage_earned, Gradebook_Item, Grade_Category, FinalGradeCEMS, Points_Possible,
Points_Earned, Gender, q1, q2, q3, q4, q5, q6, q7, q8, q9, q10, TimeSpent,

Question: How many rows does the head() function display? Hint: Check the dimensions of your tibble in the console.
- [The head function displays 6 rows of data.] {Possible answer:
The head function displays 5 rows of data*}

Question: What does ! mean in R in general?

  • [An “!” in R coding nullifies the logical value it is being used on.]

Task: In code chunk named filter-5, filter the data frame to filter any rows with Final_Grade over 85. Assign to a new object. Use glimpse() to examine all columns of your data frame.

# We can make a condition within the filter() function.
# TYPE YOUR CODE
data_over85 <- filter(data)

# INSPECT YOUR DATA glimpse(data, data_over85)


# Let's practice with another variable 'TimeSpent'
# Filter rows where a variable 'TimeSpent' is greater than 50
# TYPE YOUR CODE
data_timover50 <- filter(data, )

Question: How does ifelse() work? Hint: You can google ifelse() in R to learn about the function.

  • [Ifelse works by performing element-wise conditional operations.]

Task: In the code chunk called arrange-1, Arrange data by subject then percentage_earned in descending order. Assign to a new object. Use the arrage() function. Then, use desc('variable name'). Use the str() function to examine the data type of each column in your data frame.

arranged_classes <- arrange(data, , desc('subject'))

If you choose to use your own dataset instead, make sure to load it correctly. To load data, use the read_csv() function.

# Replace 'your_data.csv' with the name of your dataset.
your_data <- read_csv("data/sci-online-classes.csv")
Rows: 603 Columns: 30
── Column specification ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Delimiter: ","
chr  (6): course_id, subject, semester, section, Gradebook_Item, Gender
dbl (23): student_id, total_points_possible, total_points_earned, percentage...
lgl  (1): Grade_Category

ℹ Use `spec()` to retrieve the full column specification for this data.
ℹ Specify the column types or set `show_col_types = FALSE` to quiet this message.
# Inspect your data (feel free to use head(), str(), or summary() functions)

Render & Submit

Congratulations, you’ve completed the first module!

To receive full score, you will need to render this document and publish via a method such as: Quarto Pub, Posit Cloud, RPubs , GitHub Pages, or other methods. Once you have shared a link to you published document with me and I have reviewed your work, you will be officially done with the current module.

Complete the following steps to submit your work for review by:

  1. First, change the name of the author: in the YAML header at the very top of this document to your name. The YAML header controls the style and feel for knitted document but doesn’t actually display in the final output.

  2. Next, click the “Render” button in the toolbar above to “render” your R Markdown document to a HTML file that will be saved in your R Project folder. You should see a formatted webpage appear in your Viewer tab in the lower right pan or in a new browser window. Let me know if you run into any issues with rendering.

  3. Finally, publish. To do publish, follow the step from https://docs.posit.co/cloud/guide/publish/#publish-from-a-cloud-project

If you have any questions about this module, or run into any technical issues, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Once I have checked your link, you will be notified!
