Hi Holger (and rest of class), Just wondering if the time and place have been set yet for the review of VNC on Wed, or of R on Friday? Just trying to get my schedule together. Also, if we cannot attend either session, will the video be available? Thanks in advance, Suerie -----gov2001-l-bounces at lists.fas.harvard.edu wrote: ----- To: gov2001-l at lists.fas.harvard.edu From: hlk23 at cornell.edu Sent by: gov2001-l-bounces at lists.fas.harvard.edu Date: 02/05/2007 07:53PM Subject: [gov2001-l] (no subject) hello all, here are a couple of Gov 2001 announcements: i) Please read Gary's Unifying Political Methodology (chapters 1-2) until next class. Make sure that you also read his short "Publication, Publication" article for section on Thursday (see below). If you didn't pick up a paper copy in class today please go to the class website and click on "Final Paper Information." Gary's book is available at the COOP. ii) Justin and I will have sections on Thursday 6-7 and 7-8. We're still trying to find a room that is big enough, so we will annouce the location later. We will talk about the weekly problem sets, the final paper, and also quickly review the basics of linear algebra to get you set up for the first problem set (which will be distributed on Thursday after class). iii) We have this mailing list so that you can get help quickly on any course related questions, either from Gary, Justin, and me, or --- and this is preferrable --- from each other. As Gary mentioned in class today, if someone posts a question that you happen to know the answer to, please do reply! iv) We will have an extra session on how to use VNC on *Wednesday* evening. Location and exact time are still to be determined. We will let you know once we know the room situation. v) We will have an extra session on how to use R on *Friday* evening. We don't know the room for that one either. We strongly suggest that any of you who haven't used R before attend this session. Proficiency with R is crucial for this class, and the earlier you become familiar with it, the better. vi) Starting this week, Justin and I have office hours. Justin's office hours are Tuesdays 3-5, N-018, or by appointment. My office hours are Wednesdays 4-6, N-021, or by appointment. vii) If you didn't pick up a paper copy of the syllabus in class today, you can download one from the class website at http://isites.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=k10155 Please let Justin and me know if you have any questions. We look forward to working with you this semester. cheers, Holger -- Holger Lutz Kern Graduate Student Department of Government Cornell University Institute for Quantitative Social Science Harvard University 1737 Cambridge Street N350 Cambridge, MA 02138 www.people.cornell.edu/pages/hlk23 _______________________________________________ gov2001-l mailing list gov2001-l at lists.fas.harvard.edu http://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/gov2001-l ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ gov2001-l mailing list gov2001-l at lists.fas.harvard.edu http://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/gov2001-l
