Reflection Questions

How was the install process? Anything I should know for future students? ANSWER THIS The install process was fairly easy for me. I just followed the instructions on how to install on Mac and they were very thorough and I found it extremely easy. There were some extra things that popped up but it was not hard. I think if you run through how to install the software in class. Have you used any statistical software before? I have not. When I took stats he showed us a few things on what to do in Excel but we did not use a specific program.
