Welcome!
Welcome to LAS 6292: Data Collection & Management for Latin American Studies. The menu at left includes links to the course syllabus, instructor contact information, the course calendar, and the reading/videos for each course session.
-
Class will be meeting on the first day as scheduled. There are no assignments or reading that need to be done in advance of the first session.
-
You will need a computer for this class. If you need to borrow one please let me know.
-
The zoom link for office hours can be found on the class Canvas page. If you have any problems logging on you can send me a message.
-
After the first session, most of the remaining weeks will have the following format:
-
Before class: Watch videos and read assigned texts introducing the session’s topic
-
During Class: hands-on work and in-class exercises to apply the lessons learned (with submission of some materials for review)
-
After class: finish any exercises not completed during class time, prepare for the next session.
-
Occasionally there might be some short lectures to better cover challenging material, and there are a few days where we will have a class discussion of the reading.

I’ve tried to keep the time commitments, reading, and assignments to a minimum. The “weekly assignments” are actually designed to be completed during the class session.
