Our face-to-face meetings this semester will be via Zoom. Please visit the Zoom website and create an account using your Whitman email address. Using your Whitman address will automatically connect you to the Whitman institutional Zoom group which can make life easier in some cases.
We will use R Studio statistical software available via RStudio Server Pro. You will need to use your MathLab account credentials to access Rstudio Server Pro. If you forgot your password you can reset it. If you need help with that, email Dustin Palmer at palmerdl@whitman.edu.

Please take a minute to update your Canvas profile information including a picture or avatar of yourself. You will be participating in numerous discussion forums throughout the course and having a picture along with the post helps build a sense of connection and community (which is so important in an online course).
For more information about your profile, read this Canvas Guide about updating your profile.
The Canvas phone app is worth installing. For more information, read one of these: iPhone, Android. Make sure that you turn on notifications to get up-to-date announcements.
