My talk at Smith on teaching statistics

I spoke last week at a workshop at Smith College on teaching statistics to undergraduate political science students. The organizers of the conference were Paul Gronke (Reed College) and Howard Gold (Smith College).


Here’s my talk
. This talk was accompanied by several demonstrations and handouts, and this slideshow by itself has parts that may be hard to follow without that supplementary material.

It was lots of fun. The 20 or so people at the workshop enjoyed the demonstrations and there was lively discussion about teaching research methods to undergraduates in general and political science students in particular.
