Other Events:

 

***What is due Tuesday, Oct. 25 for quantitative Data Assignment:  For your data spreadsheet, transcribe the headers from the data intake forms that Mark supplied and that your group filled in.  If you have two kinds of ‘tables’ (aka “entities”), then create two separate data worksheets (tables) in your spreadsheet.  Note that you probably did not fill in all columns for the spreadsheet when you were in the field.  Even if they are empty, you should recreate the worksheet exactly as you see it on the intake form.  Your spreadsheet file should be named as per the name of the data intake form with you last name appended (e.g., L402A-understory-Plot 1-yourLastName.

PLEASE BRING HARD COPY (printout) of your data table(s) to class TUESDAY!
