I’m teaching one section of an intro-to-stat-for-non-math-folks class this spring as an adjunct. I’m planning to supplement the dry, fire-hose-y textbook with some outside readings (data journalism written by me, where students can reconstruct the analysis; excerpts from The Lady Tasting Tea; and some short posts from the Sequences).
Suggest short Sequence readings for my college stat class
I’m teaching one section of an intro-to-stat-for-non-math-folks class this spring as an adjunct. I’m planning to supplement the dry, fire-hose-y textbook with some outside readings (data journalism written by me, where students can reconstruct the analysis; excerpts from The Lady Tasting Tea; and some short posts from the Sequences).
On that last category, I’d love suggestions. I have a few in mind already (“Look into the Dark”, the ‘Lightness’ section of “The 12 Virtues of Rationality”, “Making Beliefs Pay Rent”).
What would you suggest I pay special attention to? Also, anything you’d suggest as particularly good for pre-reading before the first class?
