Title of Talk | Teaching Introductory Statistics: An Impostor's Perspective |
Abstract | I am not a statistician, but I do play one at my institution. This talk will reflect on an applied mathematician's experience teaching many, many sections of introductory statistics over the past six years. I will discuss challenges that a mathematician may face when teaching statistics, lessons I have learned, and helpful (and unhelpful) resources. |
