Wipe down your workstation (keyboard, mouse) with wipes provided at start and end of session. And, since the sessions are 3 hours long, wear a mask. As at other levels class will be streamed and recorded for those unwilling or unable to attend. Above all **stay home if you are unwell**.

## Labs
86
-
Lab sessions follow the lecture sessions and will cover related practical topics. Lab materials will generally be found [here](labs/). Only four sessions have an associated assessed assignment, but you should attend all labs and particpate fully to broaden your knowledge of GIScience methods and tools as any of the approaches covered may prove useful for you in other parts of the program. (Note also that a portion of the course credit is for participation in all aspects of the course.)

### Software

Most of the lab work will be completed in the [*R*](https://www.r-project.org/) programming language for statistical computing, using various packages tailored to spatial analysis work. *R*

98
91
99
We will use *R* from the [*RStudio*](https://www.rstudio.com/) environment which makes managing work more straightforward.

93
-
Both *R* and *RStudio* are available on the lab computers. Both are freely downloadable for use on your own computer (they work on all three major platforms). We can take a look if you are having issues with your installation, but are likely to suggest that you uninstall and reinstall. In some cases problems might arise from different versions of key packages, in which case you will have to work with the lab machine versions as we can't support multiple versions across different platforms.
