Interactive R tutorials

The following are interactive R tutorials, designed to give you more practice with R. These are optional, but they will show up in your next homework assignment, so you should gain familiarity with it. If you’re struggling with any of the topics covered this week, I strongly recommend you work through the interactive tutorials.
