## What it is
An open-source collection of materials for teaching or learning an introductory data science course using R and the tidyverse. It includes slide decks, homework, labs, exams, a final project, and instructor resources, all under a Creative Commons license.

## Use cases
- teach an introductory data science course with R
- learn data science from scratch with free course materials
- find ready-made homework assignments and labs for a stats course
- get pedagogical tips for teaching data science
- set up computing infrastructure for a data science class
- self-study data wrangling and visualization with tidyverse

## When to choose
- you teach or study introductory data science with R and the tidyverse
- you want complete, freely licensed course materials including slides, labs, and exams
- you value reproducibility-focused teaching with R Markdown and Git

## When to avoid
- you need a data science tool or library rather than educational content
- your course is based on Python or another language instead of R
- you need advanced or specialized data science topics beyond an introductory course

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: data-science, data-visualization, documentation
- domain: data-science, education, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: r, tidyverse, course-materials, teaching, curriculum, open-courseware
