Teaching
Some ideas that shape my teaching practice:
- Education has the power to transform lives.
- Every student, regardless of their prior preparation, background, or major, has the capacity to excel in statistics and data science.
- Data literacy is essential in the modern world.
- My classroom is not only about statistics; it is a social place where students are truly welcome and have the opportunity to make friends and build a community even if I teach hundreds of students.
- Students are more engaged when working with real data.
