Hi,

great course to go through! Thanks Meredith and Kaitlin. 


Just a head's up that, in Lesson 2, the link to "TrailCamPro’s guide to selecting the best camera trap for your research project" is missing. (In "Selecting the right camera for your research").

Hi there, really great course, thank you! Maybe a silly question but where do I find the assignments folder? I want to download the messy dataset to practice with camtrapR. Thanks!

Hello, 
Loving the course so far.
There might be a typo in Lesson 4 - Determining Species Distribution
It reads: 
"It's important to underscore that occupancy modeling does estimate animal abundance or density. Instead, it provides insights into space use across a landscape. " 
Looks like it should be ".... occupancy modeling does not estimate animal ....."
