Semester is about to kick off and it’s time for some #rstats (esque) “ice breakers”! I was lucky enough to have Cris Escandor work with me extending some of my mini games over the summer. Feel free to have a go yourself and/or use in the classroom! —>

All courses need a "reel" right?

If you are a @aucklanduni.bsky.social #statistics or #datascience student looking for an honours/masters project this year then perhaps one of these will be a good fit! cmjt.github.io/project/

Please pass onto other UoA stats students & reach out if you have any questions #edusky #statsed

A very happy Jess Hartnett with a sample copy her her brand new text book, Psychological Statistics for Everyone.

I can't believe that I can finally share my book. I've worked so, so hard to make statistics accessible and entertaining for our students. Find your Norton rep here: wwnorton.com/find-your-rep. If you want to request a copy, go here: wwnorton.com/books/978132...

The Bayes/freq quiz I’m stealing for an opener for sure 💙😂

Fantastic talk! Will certainly be using some of your materials materials for my students!

Prompt for an interactive coding assessment. Reads,”Scenario You are in a technical interview with a senior data analyst at a research lab. Your task is to quickly wrangle and visualize a provided dataset. The focus will be on your approach to solving the problem, how you handle any challenges, and your coding process. The data analyst is there to observe your methods, not to judge the final result. You have 10 minutes to complete the task. This task will focus on ◦ How you approach cleaning the data and dealing with any issues ◦ How you use external tools (e.g., Stack Overflow, AI assistance) to resolve challenges ◦ How clean and readable your code is ◦ How well you explain your process, reasoning, and decisions”

Inspired by interactive (oral) assessments, I’m planning on incorporating an interactive (coding) assessment into my #biostats course.

Students will be given scenario attached. Keen to hear thoughts/tips/advice if you’ve run something similar. #StatsEd #StatsSky #EduSky #rstats #TidyTuesday
