300 lessons later: What I've learned about R from teaching R

300 lessons later: What I've learned about R from teaching R
Presented by Mark Niemann-Ross

Robert Heinlein said "When one teaches, two learn" - and I'm proof! I started learning R in 2014, taught my first R course in 2015. I started with a casual knowledge of data science, statistics, and matrix math.

Since then, have taught more than 300 sessions to nearly 60,000 learners. I've covered matrices, NLP, linear models, program flow and other details of the R language.

But enough about me - how about you? Let's discuss the objections I've heard about passing on your knowledge to the next generation. I'll cover the imposter syndrome, lack of venue, and "I'm a researcher, not an educator."

In ten minutes, you'll have your confidence restored and your awesomeness confirmed.
