Welcome to DATA606! Your instructors will be Dr. Jason Bryer and Dr. Angela Lui. Couple of important notes as you get started:

  • The course syllabus located here: https://spring2023.data606.net/course-overview. We will post all course materials there. Blackboard will be used primarily for submitting assignments. Please read the syllabus carefully! Send us any questions you may still have about the course.

  • Complete this Google Form as soon as possible. We will use some of the data (in aggregate) in the meetup.

  • Join the Slack channel by clicking here (or use your @sps.cuny.edu email address). This will be our primary mode of communication. For private communications, you can either send private Slack messages or email us at jason.bryer@cuny.edu and angela.lui@cuny.edu.

  • Complete the self-regulated learning assessment in DAACS. Visit /assignments/daacs/ for more information.

  • Once you go through the syllabus, try starting Lab 1 as soon as you can. This will require you to install R and RStudio and will help get you get acquainted with R. See the software page for more information about the software we will use for this course.

  • The best way to reach us is on Slack. If you would prefer to talk on the phone or setup a Zoom session, it is best to suggest some times by email first.

  • Our Meetups will be on Wednesdays from 8:00pm to 9:00pm. We expect everyone to attend or watch the Meetups. Important information will be shared during the meetups that will not be available in any other format.
