Lab notes for this week have been posted. I may need to make changes after Tuesday's lecture. I fully understand that this is not an easy class for those who have not had statistics before or have been away from statistics or math for a while (a few years). However, everyone will experience a steep learning curve throughout the course.
To do well in this class, you will need to keep up with the lectures and all lab activities. It is also very important to come to Dr. Shelley's or my office hours frequently. Watch the video lectures or labs as soon as possible during the week. You will find that you may need to watch them again and again. Email us your questions after you have tried hard to find the answer yourself.
In this class, we use SAS as our main software for data analysis. However, you can use any software of your choice. There are plenty of resources for SAS for beginners on line or you can just follow the instructions in class. We focus mostly on teaching you basic SAS syntax so you will be able to write simple programs in SAS for your assignments. You may also be able to apply them to your current or future research.
Best of luck on your learning journey in this class. My hope is to challenge and inspire you to learn more statistics.
Regards,
Trang
