We will use the open-source R statistical programming environment in this course via the R Studio interface. No prior experience with either R or R Studio is assumed. Students are encouraged to bring laptops to class.

Office Hours

These are subject to change. Zoom meetings are HIGHLY preferred this semester. If you want a private Zoom, let me know and it will be set up with a password just for you. Otherwise, it will be open for others to join in on.

I will be working from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and also on Friday afternoons. Those times are potentially available for Zoom appointments. I am also available by appointment, catch me before/after class to set up a time or email me at cmecklin AT murraystate DOT edu.
