Abstract:
|
Many PhD students teach, whether as teaching assistants during graduate school or after they have graduated and become professors. However, very few PhD students are actually taught how to teach, or even given suggestions, tips, help, or feedback on their teaching. While universities sometimes offer teaching courses to graduate students in general, courses taught by statistics faculty, specifically for statistics students, may be more beneficial for our students. This talk will discuss a course designed to help PhD students improve their teaching of statistics, based on experience teaching such a course at Duke University and Harvard University.
