## Lectures and labs
If you have a question during lecture or lab, feel free to ask it! There are likely other students with the same question, so by asking you will create a learning opportunity for everyone.
## Office hours
Office hours are available by appointment at [this link](https://calendly.com/vanderplas/office-hours). In general, office hours will be via Zoom - this allows me to offer more availability, and doesn't require you to come to East campus to visit my office.
If you'd prefer to meet in person, try to schedule your appointment on Monday or Wednesday, and mention in the request that you want an in-person meeting. I will let you know if that's feasible given my schedule for the day.
## Email
Please only use email for questions about personal matters that may not be appropriate for the public course forum (e.g., illness, grades, accommodations, etc.).
In these cases, please add "STAT349" to the subject line, so that I can prioritize your email.
Assignment and content related questions should be asked in the relevant discussion board on Canvas.
## Academic support
There are times you may need help with the class that is beyond what can be provided by the teaching team. In those instances, I encourage you to visit the **Center for Academic Success and Transition (CAST)**. [CAST](https://success.unl.edu/resources/) offers free services to all students.
Students have access to [peer tutoring](https://success.unl.edu/academic-support/study-stop/), [academic coaching](https://success.unl.edu/academic-support/), and [academic success workshops](https://success.unl.edu/academic-support/success-workshops/).
## Mental health and wellness
Your mental health and wellness extremely important, and the university offers resources to support students in managing daily stress and self-care. UNL offers several resources for students to manage stress, seek help with well-being, and access crisis and long-term care.
- [Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)](https://caps.unl.edu/), 402-472-7450
- [Center for Advocacy, Response, & Education (CARE)](https://care.unl.edu/), 402-472-3553 -- resources for victims/survivors of interpersonal violence.
- [Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD)](https://ssd.unl.edu/), ssd\@unl.edu or 402-472-3787 -- resources for students experiencing short or long-term disabilities that affect the campus or educational experience.
## Technology
Students who do not have a working computer can check out a loaner laptop from [HuskerTech](https://libraries.unl.edu/laptop-checkout/) on city campus (Love South, Adele Hall) and east campus (Dinsdale).
If you are unable to get a loaner laptop set up with the software required for parts of this course, please try to let me know ahead of time - it is possible that I will be able to assist you with browser-based solutions.
## Course materials
There are no costs associated with this course beyond the requirement that you have access to a laptop computer. All readings will come from freely available, open resources (open-source textbooks, journal articles, etc.) or library course reserves.
