We will use JMP Statistical Software, from The SAS Institute.

You'll need to purchase a 6-month ($30) license for JMP here or through the campus-wide site license held by the University of Arizona (also $30); see Gale in the basement of the Student Union. 

The software comes with an Introductory Guide and a few other manuals and that is all you will need.

Ramsey, F. L. and D. W. Schafer.  2002.  The statistical sleuth: A course in methods of data analysis.  Second edition.  Duxbury Press.   

Author Dan Schafer maintains a web page with updates and other information relevant to The Sleuth. 

Based on weekly assignments (~30 pts each) involving analysis of real data sets, a mid-term take-home project involving analysis and write-up of datasets provided by the instructor (200 pts), a final project (300 pts) involving analysis and write-up of a data set provided by the student, and review and critique of another's final project (100 pts). 

One course in statistics, background and interest in ecology, some computer savvy (or lots of interest), and graduate standing.
