This is a completed Faculty Mentoring Network (FMN). FMNs are sustained, immersive, community-based professional development opportunities for faculty. FMNs support the adaptation and implementation of materials and/or instructional approaches in their classrooms. Learn more about FMNs. Interested in upcoming FMN opportunities?

Goals
- Gain access to an existing collection of swirl courses designed for an undergraduate biostatistics course, as well as user-contributed swirl lessons developed in this FMN
- Develop, implement, and share modules for teaching statistical and biological concepts in R with swirl, an interactive platform for learning and teaching R in the RStudio console
- Collaborate with peer mentors on R, swirl, and lecture/classroom/lab effective tips and strategies in online weekly meetings
Mentors
- Paige Parry, George Fox University
