2 Questions and issues

We have a saying at Bigelow Lab, “there’s no such thing as a dumb question, but the quality of the answers you get may vary widely.” This is so true!

If you have a class, coding or forecasting question, start a new “issue” on the github issues tab. If a question has been posed by another, and you think you can help with the answer, then please feel free to respond. If you have a personal question or issue, then contact the instructors directly.

3 The wiki

Some ancillary content for the course has been placed in what is called a wiki. In theory anyone can contribute to a wiki, but in practice only a few do. We are open to suggestions for improvements and additions.
