About Your Instructor

Hi, I'm Dr. Albert Rapp 👋🏻

I have a PhD in Mathematics and I'm fascinated by the blend of Data Analytics, Web Development, and Visualization. As you may have guessed, design skills are not part of my math training. But I've learned that you only need a couple of fundamental rules to create great charts. And that's exactly what I'll teach you.

In this course, you will learn how to implement the most important dataviz principles with {ggplot2}. This will help you to communicate effectively with charts🔥📈.

FAQ

  • How long will I have access to the videos?

    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.

  • What if I don't like the course?

    I offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. No questions asked. Just send me an e-mail and I take care of your refund.

  • Do I need to be an R expert?

    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".

  • Do I need prior knowledge about {ggplot2} or will everything be explained from the ground up?

    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.
