@tl2624 Should I put my office hours link (https://calendly.com/jakebowers/icpsr-office-hours) into meetings.tex? Or somewhere else?

I propose to upend the current ordering of material in units 5 and 6. Partly this is to try to bring my 1/2 of the 4 week course to a sensible stopping points, partly out of a hope that I'll find time to say a little about inverse probability weighting in its application to experiments. (This connects to the propensity score on a conceptual level, and may help to bridge from the RCT focus of weeks 1 and 2 toward including more observational studies methods in weeks 3 and 4.)

I'll just go ahead and do it w/o further posting here -- unless somebody posts a comment that causes me to reconsider, of course.

This repo's .gitignore file has an entry .local. Presumably that's a directory for local installs of packages. I propose to use lib instead, so that we can more readily see what local packages we may have built within a cloned working copy.

Any objections?

1. What LMS's will the summer program be using: Ctools, Canvas, or both?
2. Which LMS's are they recommending to instructor?
3. Will they have use/need for UM Friend accounts?

Relevant to syllabus.

The Gerber/Green vote 98 study has experiments in it, all involving clustering and two involving stratification. Now that RItools::xBalance is (soon to be) equipped to handle clusters and strata in combination, we should produce a code demo of this for the course.

Putting this here so as not to forget it:
