Hi, I'm Dr. Albert Rapp 👋🏻
The course is structured into bite-sized lessons in Part 1. Videos in Part 2 are longer. There, we build complex data visualizations from start to finish. Unfold the list to see all lessons.

You’ll have access to the videos for the lifetime of the course. This means that you will have access for as long as I continue to run 'Insightful Data Visualizations for "Uncreative" R Users'. Even more specifially, this means access for at least one year after enrollment.
I offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. No questions asked. Just send me an e-mail and I take care of your refund.
This course uses the tidyverse (which {ggplot2} is part of). You should used the most common functions like mutate(), select(), filter(), etc. a couple of times but I wouldn't say that you need to be an "expert".
There are tons of free resources for {ggplot2}. No need to spend money to learn the basics. That's why this course assumes that you can create rudimentary line or bar charts with {ggplot2} already.
Basically, if you know that you need to use aes()
to access columns from your data, you're good to go. In case you need a refresher on the basics, I do offer a free short video on Youtube that teaches you all the basics that you need to understand this course.
