It should be possible to work through this a bit more slowly and in-depth. I have tried to point to a range of resources, both those which are accessible and those which are challenging.</p> <p>For the week, we have divided content into four challenges. Included here (and below) is a brief introduction to the course. There are four additional sessions, which each have associated activities.</p> </div> </section> </div> </div> </div> <a href="about-the-author.html" class="navigation navigation-next navigation-unique" aria-label="Next page"><i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i></a> </div> </div> <script src="libs/gitbook-2.6.7/js/app.min.js"></script> <script src="libs/gitbook-2.6.7/js/lunr.js"></script> <script src="libs/gitbook-2.6.7/js/plugin-search.js"></script> <script src="libs/gitbook-2.6.7/js/plugin-sharing.js"></script> <script src="libs/gitbook-2.6.7/js/plugin-fontsettings.js"></script> <script src="libs/gitbook-2.6.7/js/plugin-bookdown.js"></script> <script src="libs/gitbook-2.6.7/js/jquery.highlight.js"></script> <script> gitbook.require(["gitbook"], function(gitbook) { gitbook.start({ "sharing": { "github": false, "facebook": true, "twitter": true, "google": false, "linkedin": false, "weibo": false, "instapaper": false, "vk": false, "all": ["facebook", "google", "twitter", "linkedin", "weibo", "instapaper"] }, "fontsettings": { "theme": "white", "family": "sans", "size": 2 }, "edit": { "link": null, "text": null }, "history": { "link": null, "text": null }, "download": null, "toc": { "collapse": "subsection" } }); }); </script> </body> </html>
