Guy Srinivasan and I want to do a hands on tutorial on Bayes theorem for the Seattle LessWrong group. Neither of us have done this before, so we’re searching for prior art; techniques that other people have tried before and descriptions of how they turned out.
What are good techniques and resources for teaching Bayes theorem? Reports of both successes and failures are useful, I’d like to know what not to do in addition to what to do.
We expect ~8 programmers and natural science students to show up.
