Semester is about to kick off and it’s time for some #rstats (esque) “ice breakers”! I was lucky enough to have Cris Escandor work with me extending some of my mini games over the summer. Feel free to have a go yourself and/or use in the classroom! —>

If you are a @aucklanduni.bsky.social #statistics or #datascience student looking for an honours/masters project this year then perhaps one of these will be a good fit! cmjt.github.io/project/

Please pass onto other UoA stats students & reach out if you have any questions #edusky #statsed

I can't believe that I can finally share my book. I've worked so, so hard to make statistics accessible and entertaining for our students. Find your Norton rep here: wwnorton.com/find-your-rep. If you want to request a copy, go here: wwnorton.com/books/978132...

Inspired by interactive (oral) assessments, I’m planning on incorporating an interactive (coding) assessment into my #biostats course.

Students will be given scenario attached. Keen to hear thoughts/tips/advice if you’ve run something similar. #StatsEd #StatsSky #EduSky #rstats #TidyTuesday

Re-sharing my starter pack so I can update my pinned post

If you're a statistician, data scientist, or someone doing statsy or data sciencey things in Australia or Aotearoa (New Zealand) and want to be on the list, just let me know!

A short workshop dipping into experimental design and randomization tests.

Asks you to design your own virtual experiment and save your farm! A randomization test thrown in for fun.

*Playtesters wanted*

A game where students can design their own experiment! Planning to use in-class next year but would appreciate some testers first. In particular, if you have some experimental design skills, it'd be great to hear your chosen design/model.

I talked a wee bit too much about Stardew Valley in #biostats class so one of my students was inspired to collect and analyse their own data. If you have a few mins to spare :) forms.gle/SSK1LBppovxw...

Fine, I might have gotten a bit too dragon-obsessed with setting assignment questions for my first-time #rstats class. I may have also just finished Iron Flame... There's no way you can tell...

Semester kicks off next week so obviously my class are going on a mini dragon hunt... Hopefully, the silliness will make up for the 8am start and get some laughs. #EduSky statbiscuit.github.io/mini_games/z...
