Mastering Data Analysis Methods for Researchers

Halfway through my PhD studies I attended Rick’s "Data Analysis with R" workshop, as someone who just started to discover R. I found the workshop to be very helpful for several reasons: the content was modern and relevant without the usual boring theory, the teaching style was relaxed, straight to the point with clear explanations, and there was a lot 1:1 interaction, which is crucial and priceless in the early stages of learning to code. The course was well balanced between the theoretical and the practical part, and we were able to work on our datasets! Months later, I still benefit from the scripts from the workshop and go back to them. I would definitely recommend Rick as an awesome R instructor!

The data visualization course taught by Rick has been very useful in my work to communicate the results of my analysis to a wide audience. The content of his course is complete and exhaustive, so it’s not necessary to resort to other sources of consultation. Every time I don't remember any details about the syntax in R, I turn to the materials of his courses and there I find the solution. The materials are very well designed and structured in progressive order of difficulty, they also include examples from various disciplines. For all people who want to learn ggplot2, Rick's courses are the definitive guide and the fastest way to learn to use this powerful library.

As a student of Rick Scavetta’s classes on Data Visualization with ggplot2, I walked away with knowledge that I use on daily basis as a Lead Data Scientist at a large Global Insurer. Rick’s teaching style is both clear and engaging. The structure of his classes is very thorough and the content practical and useful. I took away from his classes an understanding of fundamental concepts of data visualization, rather than simply memorizing facts that I would soon forget. With Rick’s focus of fundamental understanding plus practical real-world application, I’m confident you will learn something relevant to you everyday job. I highly recommend him as an instructor!

Learning with and from Rick Scavetta is a safe bet. Rick is a great professional in the field of data visualization, but what makes his courses different is the way he helps you to think one step beyond your objective, and also to connect two ideas that apparently don't have anything in common. He teaches you how to develop the intuition needed for being a good Data Scientist. In the sea of data and graphics, his advise and way of teaching will save you time, and give you the feeling of truly understanding what's happening behind the scenes.
