Conclusion

In this module, you learned what R and RStudio are, how to install them, and how to find your way around the RStudio interface.

Self-test Assignment

Before moving on, make sure you can genuinely do each of these, not just recognize them:

Open RStudio and successfully run a line of code (e.g. 2 + 2)
Create a new R Script, write a line of code in it, and save it
Point to each of the four panes and say what it is for
Change at least one RStudio setting (e.g. theme, auto-save, or working directory) and think about why this change is useful to you.

You are now all set to continue with the next module. Here we take the first steps into writing R code.
