  • For internet use you will be independently asked for YOUR UdS username and UdS password.
  • Don’t forget to LOGOUT after each session.
  • In order to logout type log.out in the address bar of the browser.
  • You can still work locally, BUT any data you save to the desktop or the directory “Eigene Dateien” will be lost after logout.
  • Always bring an USB-stick to save data.

IMPORTANT

  1. We will use, produce and reuse data files throughout the course. Thus, we ask you to use an USB stick to store these data files.
    • please always bring the USB stick to the lab sessions
    • create a directory for the course on this USB stick
    • after each class make a copy of the directory and its content on your laptop, pc, dropbox, etc. as a backup
    • the content of the course directory will be your lab notebook, the more complete and structured you keep it, the more it will serve you in future (e.g. for term paper or BA-Thesis projects)

  2. Please register in time for Weblicht! Instructions on how it works can be found here

  3. Please register in time for CQPweb at UdS! Instructions on it can be found here

  4. In the second half of the course we will be working R and RStudio

    • R and RStudio are installed in the CIP Pool
    • However, if you want to work with the tools on your laptop or PC at home you need to install both R and RStudio
    • Please follow the instructions on the homepages of the tools
    • You might need to install some packages as well.
      See this YouTube Video on how to Install packages in RStudio
