Preparation
Tuesday 22nd Jan
Show up.
Thursday 24th Jan
- Install either R or RStudio on a computer you have access to (or check it out on the lab machines). Ideally, but not essentially, bring your laptop to class.
- Be ready to talk about your preparation for the semester and what you'd like to accomplish.
Tuesday 29th Jan
- Read Sections 1.1 to 1.6 from the textbook. (There are videos for it too, linked that start of each section; I haven't watched them but if you'd like to give them a try instead, feel free and we'll see how it works out.) Come with questions about anything that is not clear.
- It's a good idea to have started the R labs (first two on the labs page of the textbook site). You don't need to get them done until Thursday, but there'll be a bit of time today to troublseshoot.

Please leave comments before Friday!
