Getting help
- Look at the help files (
?<function>
in RStudio console) - Look at the cheatsheets
- Google – often adding “tidyverse” to your search helps
- Often it’s a lot more pleasant an experience to get your questions answered in person. Make use of office hours, we’re here to help!
- Email us
- When getting help from us, give your question context from course concepts not course assignments.
- Good context: “I have a question on filtering”
- Bad context: “I have a question on Assignment 1 Exercise 4”
- Be precise in your description:
- Good description: “I am getting the following error and I’m not sure how to resolve it ‘-Error: could not find function read_csv’”
- Bad description: “R giving errors, help me! Aaaarrrrrgh!”
