# Activity

## Part 1: Get to know one another

* Walk around the room and find three people
* Re-introduce yourselves to your group
* Find something you all have in common
* Continue on until you have formed three groups.

## Part 2: What is this course going to look like?

## Part 3: Open Questions

## Data science

.pull-left-wide[
- Data science is an exciting discipline that allows you to turn data into understanding, insight, and knowledge.

- We're going to learn to do this in a `tidy` way -- more on that later!

- This is a course on programming for analysis and visualization, with an emphasis on statistical thinking.

## Course FAQ

.pull-left-wide[
**Q - What data science background does this course assume?**  
A - None.

**Q - Is this an intro stat course?**  
A - While statistics `\(\ne\)` data science, they are very closely related and have tremendous of overlap. Hence, this course is a great way to get started with statistics. However this course is *not* your typical high school statistics course and there is a greater emphasis on data visualization.

**Q - Will we be doing computing?**   
A - Yes.

## Course FAQ

.pull-left-wide[
**Q - Is this an intro CS course?**  
A - No, but many themes are shared.

**Q - What computing language will we learn?**  
A - R.

**Q: Why not language X?**  
A: We can discuss that over ☕.

# One link to rule them all...

... where you can find everything except your course grades!

This link is going to have everything but your course grades. It will link you to the relevant places including lyceum.

The course material will be released on a weekly basis, this is so that you can take a look at the week ahead. There are links to videos, readings and others. I try to keep these links up to date but I may occasionally miss something and I'd love to hear from you if you have trouble.
