<strong>Math-Stat Wiki</strong> for discussion among AU's Math-Stat faculty.
  
I have created this wiki for AU's Math-Stat faculty to discuss how they might improve the classes they are teaching.
+
Topics under discussion might include:
  
Specific things that might be discussed here:
+
* What clear and appropriate '''objectives''' should we have for each course?
 +
* What teaching '''methods''' will best meet each objective?
 +
* What '''assessments''' will fairly and accurately measure how well each student meets each objective?
  
* What are clear and appropriate objectives for each course?
+
Please add links to courses you are interested in discussing, or content to the following links:
* How can we teach to best meet our objectives?
 
* How can we assess, fairly and accurately, how well each student meets each objective?
