Re: Teaching Stats

Ross-c,

This is tanget to the discussion. But it depends on what the purpose of
the teaching is: is it to pass an exam or to guide students willing to
learn to understand? Most times, in my own education, the teaching was
taught so a numeric value could place me under some tyrranic
bell-curve.

For mathematics, the best way I learned was by doing not only a lot of
exercises but also many different types; these feed into each other. I
was not the smartest kid, but I will never again forget how much
"doing" the assignments helped me to remember AND learn.
