Main Page

Math-Stat Wiki. for AU's Math-Stat faculty to discuss how they might improve the classes they are teaching.

Specific things that might be discussed here include:

• What are clear and appropriate objectives for each course?
• How can we teach to best meet our objectives?
• How can we assess, fairly and accurately, how well each student meets each objective?

Please add links to courses you are interested in discussing:

• STAT 202: ObjectivesMethodsAssessments
• MATH 15X:
