SUMMARY:R Day – Delivery of Statistics Support using R
DESCRIPTION:The popular and free software termed “R” is already well used by academics across various disciplines. The R Day\, to be held at the University of Essex Campus near Colchester\, will focus on how R can be used to provide statistical support to students and academics or to the wider community outside academia. Learning support centres\, which offer excellent Maths support\, often struggle to provide the same level of service in Stats beyond only basic statistical concepts. This sigma R day will explore how to use the R software in a teaching or help desk style scenario for Statistics. \nThe day will be led by three experienced practitioners: \n\nDr Spyros Vrontos (Essex University)\nDr Jim Bull (Swansea University)\nDr Magnus Johnson (Hull University)\n\nParticipants will not be expected to know R although some basic familiarity will be useful. Only elementary statistical knowledge will be assumed. It is envisaged that this sigma R day will be the first of a trio with Jim and Magnus hosting the other two at Swansea and Hull\, thus neatly covering much of England and Wales. \nThe meeting will be particularly helpful for those just starting in a Stats support service\, for example through the sigma funding initiative\, but more experienced practitioners will also find it interesting and an opportunity to network with others. \nThe event will be attended by David Bowers\, Chair of the sigma network\, who will give an update on the sigma network. \nFree event with a sandwich buffet provided. To book a place\, or for further information\, please contact: Dan Brawn\, sigma Eastern England Hub Assistant Co-ordinator: dbrawn@essex.ac.uk

SUMMARY:sigma North West & North Wales Tutor Training
DESCRIPTION:Place: Lancaster University\nDate: Tuesday 15th December 2015\nTime: 10.00  –  16.00 \nA free training day is being held on Tuesday 15th December 2015 for tutors who work in mathematics and statistics support centres or who otherwise support students to enhance their mathematical skills. \nThe course will be delivered by members of sigma\, based around the sigma guide “Tutoring in a Mathematics Support Centre“. The training is ideal for Post Graduate tutors new to mathematics and statistics support but is open to anyone who wishes to reflect on the ways in which mathematics and statistics support differs from traditional lecturing. \nThis event is being hosted by Lancaster University and the sigma North West and North Wales hub. \nTo reserve a place at this FREE event\, please email Emma Jupp  e.jupp@lancaster.ac.uk \nFinancial support to assist with travel costs may be available (to delegates from the sigma NWNW hub region only) if tutors would otherwise be unable to attend. Please contact Ian Jarman i.h.jarman@ljmu.ac.uk\, sigma NWNW Hub Co-ordinator\, for information.
