  • A humorous cartoon by American cartoonist Jon Carter in 2018 which may be used for in-class discussions about interpreting time series plots. The drawing indicates confusion about what each axes represents, since the plot itself indicates the  x-axes labels time, but the axes itself says "customer intelligence"  and there is no scale on either axesThe cartoon is free to use in non-profit educational settings.

  • RStudio Cloud makes it easy for professionals, hobbyists, trainers, teachers and students to do, share, teach and learn data science using R.  Create analyses using RStudio directly from your browser - there is no software to install and nothing to configure on your computer.  Share your projects - and access those of others - without worrying about data transfer or package installation. Each project defines its own environment, and RStudio Cloud automatically reproduces that environment whenever anyone accesses the project.  It’s easy to share analyses with the world - but it’s also simple to collaborate with a select group in a private space. You control who can enter a space - and via roles, you have fine grained control over what each user can do.  There are also many learning materials available: interactive tutorials covering the basics of data science, cheatsheets for working with popular R packages, links to Datacamp courses, and a guide to using RStudio Cloud.

  • A song that may be used in discussing how to describe the distribution seen in a histogram by providing the shape and using statistical measures of location, variability, and deviations from the overall pattern (outliers). The lyrics were written by Mary McLellan from Aledo High School in Aledo, Texas as one of several dozen songs created for her AP statistics course. The song may be sung to the tune of the 2011 pop song We Are Young, by the band Fun. Also, an accompanying video may be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kkjlhdc5hlk
