During the Spring and Fall Semesters, the SPL allows students to complete the lab independently, using the course resources in order to prepare for the four end-of-unit tests.<\/p>\n<p>In both Summer I and Summer II, ADR100 features two live sessions each week, featuring hands-on coding demonstrations, interactive Q&#038;A, and opportunities to explore statistical topics in greater depth.<\/p>\n<h2>The Scenic Route or the Fast Lane<\/h2>\n<p>For students who wish to deeply explore the lab\u2019s available resources, there are ample opportunities to do so within the ADR100 Blackboard page. These include live session recordings from previous instructor-led iterations, recommended additional material to explore from the \u201cResources\u201d link in Blackboard, and the many .R scripts to download from the \u201cDiscussions\u201d area. In Summer I and Summer II, the aforementioned live classroom sessions offer a valuable additional resource for students who wish to get the most out of this lab.<\/p>\n<p>Students who are already quite familiar with R can earn their badge by completing all four end-of-unit tests, earning a score of 60% or higher on each, with a 70% or higher cumulative average. These tests can be retaken.<\/p>\n<p>Students who earn their badges will retain access to all the lab material throughout their time at BU.<\/p>\n<h2>Still have questions?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Discover more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/met\/degrees-certificates\/ms-applied-business-analytics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MET-ABA program page<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Contact Developer\/Instructor, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/met\/profile\/gregory-page\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Greg Page<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Register and Access ADR100<\/h2>\n<p>The Self-Paced and Instructor-led laboratories are only available if you have a BU identification number and email address.<div class=\"bu_collapsible_container \" aria-live=\"polite\" data-customize-animation=\"false\"><h3 class=\"bu_collapsible\" aria-expanded=\"false\"tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">Students without BU ID and Kerberos account<\/h3><div class=\"bu_collapsible_section\" style=\"display: none;\"><br \/>\nIf you are a newly accepted student of the Applied Business Analytics graduate program but have not received your BU identification number and email address, please complete the following steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Navigate to the following site to request a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/tech\/services\/security\/iam\/authentication\/kerberos\/kerberos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">computing account<\/a>.
