No, it's not a typo; I've caught a show on the history channel a couple of times since my return on statistics in everyday life called the United Stats of America. Anyone else seen it? What do you think?
Since I have only seen two episodes I thought the two were quite good and interesting but a bit weak on explaining some of the stats methods. I am thinking of having a homework assignment in intro where students might have to evaluate an episode for what else you'd want to know before believing the show's conclusions based just on their presentation. Annette ps: great Bem-bash-fest because ultimately it lead to a couple of excellent resources regarding good readings in Skept Inq and I like the tip on Banachek and project alpha. I will have to look for what project alpha is all about but sounds like another great intro homework assignment ;) I like to give frequent homework (dare I admit that daily sounds good to me?) in intro that is painless but applies course work. Sort of like a service-learning model, haha. Annette Kujawski Taylor, Ph. D.
