I.  Feb 9, 16    (topics at bottom of this file)

    We will have 15-20 minute presentations of Stat 280-level
    material on the blackboard (2 each day).  You should assume
    that the "students" have already learned all prior material
    in the book.  (Pick a topic from the list below and sign
    up with me.)



Part I material comes from the 4th edition of "Introduction
to the Practice of Statistics" by David Moore and George McCabe.
Margaret Poon can tell you where to find a copy.  (You may also
find similar material in the currently used 280 textbook.)

Make 5 copies of your pages and return to her.  When you give
your presentation, pass out the extra 4 copies to the other
3 "students" and me.  We will be asking questions, just as
you might expect/face if you were actually teaching.

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. I recommend you concentrate on as
few points "to bring across" as possible. You should practice
try to get the timing right.
