Some of you approached me after class asking me for Tableau tutorials. In case you haven’t seen them already, have a look at their training page. (See “On Demand” section)

Class List / Reminder: Assignment 1
As announced last class, the class and wait list have been processed. Your status should be updated in Bearfacts.
Also, please remember that Assignment 1 is due Tuesday before class starts. We will deduct 10% for every 24 hours that an assignment is handed in late.
Tableau
A few more things about how to get Tableau running. On your Mac and otherwise:
- Apparently the licenses we got are specific to Tableau V 6.1. I will receive updated licenses for the recently released V 7.0 on Monday. You’ll receive an email with instructions as soon as I get them.
- As discussed in class, you can run Windows on your Mac by installing it in a virtual environment. Oracle Virtual Box is free and reliable. Here’s what you have to do to get Windows (and thus Tableau) running on your Mac:
- Download Oracle Virtual Box (via https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads)
- Download an educational copy of Microsoft Windows through the UC Berkeley Academic Software Store
