Attempting To Take Statistics Teaching To A Higher Level

The two main programs that I plan to run as a Graduate Teaching Fellow (GTF) are the Stat603-Teaching Statistics Crash Course and the BEST program. The crash course is a part orientation and part ongoing course, to assist new TAs with mainly classroom teaching. The Buddies Excel in Statistics Teaching (BEST) program is a sort of peer mentor program. More information is available here. Click BEST to go to the BEST page.
