My goal is to create an atmosphere that promotes autonomy, personal responsibility, continuous learning, and the ability to change. The concepts of empowerment, feedback, and teamwork will serve as the foundations on which this course is built, the threads that unify the topics we explore, and the skills we will strive to develop throughout the semester. Empowerment is the process of enabling people to take personal responsibility and ownership of the tasks they perform.
Teamwork is the primary way to empower people and to obtain feedback.
The core motivation, for both student and teacher, should be the satisfaction that derives from improving the quality of the student's learning. In order to focus on the quality of your learning and to increase your active participation in the class, we will utilize the One-Minute Paper . The first question is intended to cause you to focus on the big picture, i.e., what is being learned, and the second to provide information about how well it is being learned. The One-Minute Paper provides me with critical information concerning what does and does not work. Use real data and statistical computing.
