Editing Statistics and Statistical Programming (Fall 2020) (section)

====Asynchronous elements of the course====

These include all readings, recorded lectures/slides, tutorials, textbook exercises, problem sets, and other assignments. I expect you to complete (or at least attempt to complete!) these outside of our class meeting times. I also strongly encourage you to identify, submit, and discuss questions about the material '''before each class meeting''' whenever possible.

We will use Discord for everyday discussions and chat related to the course. In general, the teaching team will try to keep an eye on the various server channels during "business hours." To the extent that we can respond to questions and concerns there, we'll do so. We'll also use the discussion channels to identify topics that might benefit from synchronous conversation during the course meetings. Hopefully, writing and talking about questions and concerns outside of the synchronous course meetings will help support accountability, learning, and more effective use of our meeting time.

For nearly all of the "instructional" material introducing particular statistical concepts and techniques, you are assigned materials from the OpenIntro textbook and lecture materials created by the textbook authors. Please note that this means I will not deliver lectures during our class meetings. Please also note that this means you are responsible for coordinating your working groups and any collaborative work with other members of the class outside of our class meeting times.
