I'm a little confused about what exactly this is. Take the time series section, for example. The entire section seems to only have examples. The only reading listed is the "R Cookbook," and it's also mainly examples.

From the syllabus:

> The aim of the course is to show how to perform elementary data analysis in the social sciences.

I feel like the time series section doesn't teach basic time series analysis at all. For example, they show plots of the ACF and PACF without going into detail about what those are and how they're different. I don't think that's helpful.

This looks like a nice set of examples, but far from an actual course!
