Part I material comes from the 4th edition of "Introduction
to the Practice of Statistics" by David Moore and George McCabe.
Leticia has desk copies in the office. Make copies of your
pages and return, since we do not have 14 copies.
\You should strive for clarity (and inspiration) and can work
examples if you wish to use a portion of your time in that manner.
Note that there is a constant danger even for the advanced teacher
to pack in too much material.
We recommend you concentrate on as
few points "to bring across" as possible. You should practice
try to get the timing right.
