Our college has been doing webinars on every Sunday and Wednesday on different topics. This Sunday, we had two days’ session on June 5th and 6th on ‘Getting hands-on with R‘ by Mr. Binot Jung Bogati
He is an alumnus of our college who is a data scientist and data miner. The session was informative for ACHS’s students as well as for attendees from outside the college. In these two days, we learnt the basics of R of programming and its uses, data loading, packages installing and importing and data visualizing. We started this session from very basic, like the use of R studio to data loading and visualizing.
I learned that R is a programming language and free software environment for statistical computing and graphics which is widely used among statisticians and data miners for developing statistical software and data analysis. In addition to this, he also explained the debugging in R studio, build-in function in R language, and also gave resource material to learn more about the R programming
This session was very fruitful for a student like me who didn’t have any knowledge of R programming and R studio. I would like to thank our mentor Mr. Binot Jung Bogati for your precious time, giving the resources and insight on R and our collage management team for creating such a teaching and learning environment and making this time productive. Looking forward to more such webinars

Coming to the webinar with no prior knowledge of R, I did not feel pressured as the pace of the session was to my preference. I appreciate the resources Mr. Binod Jung Bogati, the resource person had prepared for us so that we could follow along.
I cannot say that I have developed complete knowledge of R in the 4+ hours, that would undermine R. But I can say for sure that I have developed a good foundation in these 2 sessions. These sessions were definitely resourceful.
