Hi folks,
Welcome to the Gov 2001 list! I just have a few announcements.
First, as was announced in lecture yesterday, we'll be hosting an R
orientation session tomorrow in K 354 (same room as where lecture and
section meet) this Wednesday from 6 to 7pm. We'll be going over how to
download R, how to do basic commands, and how to write simple
functions and for loops. We'll also go over using LaTeX, if we have
time. Bring your laptop if you want to follow along. People who have
never used R before are very strongly encouraged to attend! This
session will be taped, and I'll also post the material online.
Second, we'll be having our first section meeting Thursday in K -354
also at 6pm. Sections will also be taped, and we will post all of the
section material to the course website.
Third, feel free to use this list to email about anything related to
the course -- problem sets, questions from lecture, issues about the
replication paper, etc. The list is a terrific resource and you'll
generally get a speedy response, no matter what your request (and no
matter the time of day!). Note that you must use the email address
that you used to sign up for the list in order to send an email to the
list. Also note that if you hit "reply," your message will be
forwarded to the entire list, not just to the person to whom you're
replying!
Again, welcome to the list and to the class. I look forward to a great semester!
Maya
