This is the unofficial course website for the Spring 2020 offering of BIOL6980: Wildlife Statistics and Analysis in Program R at Tennessee Tech University. This course was crafted as an independent study covering basic statistics in program R with a focus on wildlife examples. This website is built using the R package distill.
The goal of using distill is to create a central repository for students to access all course materials - lecture slides, lab activities, assignment templates, code, data, etc. A secondary goal is to make those materials freely available to other students and instructors who may find them useful. If you encounter any issues or have any suggestions, feel free to contact me.
General course information can be found by clicking on the syllabus and schedule links above. I will also post lecture notes and lab activities which can be accessed using the drop down menus. I will attempt to update these periodically and make additions as this directed independent study course continues to be refined.
Materials included in this course is purposefully made available to anyone who finds it useful. Users are free to use, adapt, distribute, display, and communicate these materials freely. If you find these materials useful, please let me know, especially if you are using or adapting these materials for teaching. Tracking use of these materials outside of the official course is not only great validation for my effort, it helps me demonstrate "a positive professional reputation in teaching" (which happens to be useful for career advancement).
