11/4/03 Dear teaching colleague, I could sure use your help. I was just asked to speak next January at the National Institute for the Teaching of Psychology and would like to ask you for a few minutes of your time. My presentation at NITOP is titled, "What's difficult to teach in introductory statistics and how to do it". Can you please take ten minutes and help me prepare for this presentation by answering the following questions?
1. In your intro stat class, what three topics do you find most difficult to teach your students? 2. How do you teach these topics? What techniques, strategies, ideas, and tools help you? 3. What's the one coolest, most fun thing you do in your intro stat class to help students learn? Your help is tremendously appreciated and I will send you a copy of the final presentation which should be ready sometime in January. Can you please send your responses via email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and please place the words "intro stat" in the subject line? Please be sure to include your email address so I may send you a copy of the final presentation. Also, can you please forward this same letter to two other colleagues of yours that teach intro stat? Thanks (!) and very best wishes for continued success. Sincerely, Neil Salkind, Ph.D. University of Kansas Lawrence, KS 66045 [EMAIL PROTECTED] . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
