Reading Guide

Read the two local lessons, attempt the worked example without its explanation, and complete the lab with one current study problem. Follow a source only when you can name the question it should answer. Full-book reading is not required.

Resource triage

Start with the free guidance in resources. Research papers explain the evidence and its limits; you need not master their statistical methods here. Optional books and courses offer another explanation, not additional completion gates. Record any full-course or full-book time separately from this module's 6–9-hour allowance.

Read a small section, close it and explain one useful idea in your own words. If it does not resolve your question, change the question or ask for help rather than collecting more sources. Preserve the source title and exact location when a claim influences your work.
