Abstract
R is used in this chapter to support investigations on the assessment of student learning outcomes in higher education. A tab-separated file was used as the data source and from this file it was demonstrated how R is used to organize and label data, prepare simple graphical figures for quality assurance purposes, provide descriptive statistics overall and by breakout groups, and conduct a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). This chapter provides a simple introduction on the use of R, with an emphasis on easy-to-follow confidence building actions that model a real assessment-type setting faced daily by those who work in education and the social sciences.
