Assignment for Class 1

We didn’t get to this notes, so you’ll need to read them on your own. Come prepared next class with questions, comments, etc.

We didn’t use the slides below. There’s no need for you to review them—everything is in the notes.

In class, we used Gapminder to explore some data.

Please complete before the next class.

Read the syllabus carefully. If I’ve missed anything or failed to clearly explain any policy, please let me know. Come prepared to the next class with any questions or comments.
Order the simple pocket calculator that you’ll need for homework and exams, or make a plan to buy one (e.g., Walmart or other stores). Any “pocket” calculator works fine (not your phone or a graphing calculator). If you have questions about whether a calculator counts as “pocket,” just ask.
Read my notes on questions and notes on models. Complete the exercises; you’ll find some at the bottom of both sets of notes.
Bookmark the course webpage for easy access. It’s https://pos3713ri.github.io. I’ll add material here throughout the semester.
Make sure you have an up-to-date profile picture on Canvas.
Create an account on Posit Cloud. You can sign up directly or use an existing Google or GitHub account.
