I have uploaded the new PDF file to the plone site. There are still some formatting problems, especially the R output text would go beyond the right side of the text body — too wide. I have reduced the font size two degrees (using footnote size), but they are still Continue reading PDF file
I am very happy about this feature of LaTeX that it interacts with R! I got my embedded R codes work! I changed the data set back to only contain raw data (not log-transformed data). I think this is better for the students to understand the data by looking at Continue reading LaTeX interacting with R
I have created a data file for the module, which includes parasite species richness (log transformed), sampling effort (log transformed number of studies on the host species), and several ecological traits including adult body mass (log transformed), population density and geographic range size (log transformed). I uploaded the file toย Continue reading Data set and pdf file uploaded
I have received the data from Charlie. I will fill in the gaps in the documents this couple of days. Meanwhile, I am trying to make a new version of the documents using LaTeX. I’m still very slow, but it’s kind of fun ๐ Which referencing tool do you recommend Continue reading Data and LaTeX
I am back in Athens, Georgia (East time). I usually work in the office 10am – 6 pm, and should be on g-chat all this time. I will join a telephone (yes, only voice no face) conference at 2pm today with a group of people including Charlie Nunn. I will Continue reading Back to work
I was editing the student instructions today. I will be traveling from June 24th to July 6th — I will be back to office (Athens) on July 7th. I will not be able to post here until then, but I will work on the project in the following weekends to Continue reading draft editing and travel
I wrote solutions for section 1 and 3. Section 2 has more open questions, and I will need to finalize the data to answer the questions.
I posted my suggestions for the HostTraits-ParasiteDiversity document via Track Changes on the plone site. Most of my suggestions are to make the lab easier to follow/teach, and to clarify certain phrases that you use. Let me know if you have questions- and sorry it looks like I butchered it! Continue reading Suggestions for revisions on 1st lab
I am going to write up the instructor solutions this week. Because I do not have the dataset ready, yet, I will add in graphs later. This is the week of the EEID conference, and I think Natalie is there. I doubt that I would hear from them this week. Continue reading Instructor solutions
I have uploaded the new files (with the same file names, though) to the DataONE plone folder.
