GENERAL EXPECTATIONS

1:00 - 2:00 Non-parametric Statistics. Every student is expected to have worked the problem set by hand before lab. Please use the worksheet provided. Explanation will be provided in lab. Students will work in groups to run similar statistical analysis using JMP or R.

2:00 - 3:00 Student presentations of Behavioral Observation at the Zoo (~ 5 min each).

3:00 - 5:00 Website Design. Student teams will choose colors, fonts, and headings as well as create the basic pages for their website. We will learn to insert links, and images. The detailed description of the website assignment will be handed out in class prior to lab.

 

TO BE EVALUATED

The statistics problemsets will not be graded, they should be used as a self test and a study guide. Mastery of this knowledge will be evaluated on exams, lab excercises, and independent projects.

Similarly there will be no evaluation as to how rapidly you master web design, but each team is expected to have a template saved on the courses server before the end of lab today.
