It appears that no one has gotten set up with the OLI course, but evenso, I think it's important to get started with working in the course. If you can not get set up with the paid course (see previous post), you can make a free account and start reading, doing the exercises, and doing the larger learn by doing analyses. 

Each week I will post to the blog, providing a list of content to try to complete that week. The idea is to give you a goal so you can make progress. If you'd like to work ahead, feel free to do so.

In the blog posts I will include links to instructions for doing the learn by doing activities using LibreOffice calc. The instructions for using Excel (and other stat software) are included in the course. I made the Calc instructions a few years ago; if you find any issues, please let me know and I'll work to correct it.

Here's what you should try to get done by Tuesday Sep 25:

Introduction, Learning Strategies, and Big Picture -- screen 1 thru 5

Unit 1: Exploratory Data Analysis: Introduction -- screen 6 thru 7 Mod 1: Examining Distributions -- screen 8 thru 9 One Categorical Variable - Create a Table & Pie Chart -- screen 10 thru 12

Calc Instructions: Find & replace One categorical variable

Lastly, remember to keep your eye out in your daily life for interesting applications of statistics. Bring these uses to class so we can discuss how the statistic(s) is being used.
