Required Readings for Section I.  (this first required list is a bit shorter than later ones because of the emphasis on the data gathering in the first few weeks.)

If it's been a few years since you had any of this, you may wish to review basic statistics, like you got in GEO 463 (formerly GEO 427) or equivalent.  If you just had it last semester or even last year there shouldn't be any problem; but, if it's been 4 or 5 years (or more) you're likely to be a bit rusty on just what a T-Test or  F-Test is. See references later in this list.
