Interested in learning about or teaching ecological forecasting? @skmorgane and I have published our Ecological Forecasting & Dynamics class. It's 50% R tutorials on things like time-series modeling and forecast evaluation) and 50% guided reading of papers. It's designed for easy reuse & modification & we've tried to also make it usable for self-guided learners.

@lulu_powerful that's a bummer, although I understand why some teachers would want you to "do your own work." I personally feel that the benefits of collaboration and peer support across the class outweighs the risks of a couple of people skating by and getting the code "for free"
