Free Introductory R Course Taught Over the Web The course is designed for natural resource managers and is open to all who are interested without charge. Audio of the presentations is available either using your computer speakers and optional microphone or headset or by calling a phone bridge long distance. Live video of the presenter's computer screen is available over the web. You can also share your computer's screen with other participants when asking a question or making a point. An audio and video recording of the presentations and discussion will be available on our FTP site after the presentations. There are no specific prerequisites but some knowledge of statistics would be helpful. A basic knowledge of computers and the internet will be assumed.
Please forward this notice to those who may be interested. The course will start Monday, November 9. There will be presentations on Mondays and Wednesdays, and a lab on Tuesdays for two hours. The times will be: Hawaii 9:00-11:00, Alaska 10:00-12:00, Pacific 11:00-1:00, Mountain 12:00-2:00, Central 1:00-3:00, Eastern 2:00-4:00, UTC 7:00-9:00. The course will continue until we finish the outline: 2-3 weeks if you only continue through the GUI interface (menu) portion, perhaps 6-8 weeks including more advanced statistical analyses.
