Tutorial Session Plan

Details

• When: 8:30-12:30 (Brisbane local time) | Tuesday, November 18, 2024 (https://ieee-itsc.org/2025/program/workshops-and-tutorials/)

• Where: Room Gold Coast | the Star Grand | Broadbeach | Gold Coast.

• 👉 Participants should bring laptops to participate in hands-on sessions with installed required software, including

  • RStudio (by default, Quarto will be automatically installed when you install the latest version of RStudio)

  • A Github account (see tutorial)

  • Anaconda Python and Jupyter

  • Overleaf

Please note: A little bit of coding experience with RStudio or Python will be more than enough for this tutorial. Even if you’ve never written a line of code in your life, don’t stress — you’ll still be able to follow along with most of the activities. This tutorial is about making your manuscript reproducible, not about showing off your coding superpowers (though hey, you might unlock a few along the way!).
