My stats class is going well, I think.  Except I brought the wrong quiz today for my students.  (Ch 4 instead of Ch 3)  So no quiz.  Until next Wednesday.  They were happy!

Two funny student stories:
(1)  One of my students sent me an email saying he missed class and could he turn in the worksheet late because he had to "chase down a cow".  I gave him the extension just on the sheer entertainment factor of the excuse alone!  I can honestly say I have never before received that as an excuse.  I laughed so hard when I read that!

(2)  I overheard another GTA talking to someone and he was saying that he asked students to bring up their add slips this morning so he could sign them.  He said one student walked up and said, this isn't my add slip, it is for my roommate but he was way too hungover to come to class this morning!  >> Ok seriously?!?!  Wow.  I don't even know what my response to that would be!

I asked all of my students to post an introduction on our class discuss board.  It is amazing how many can NOT spell their major correctly!  I think the worst misspelled major (or at least the one with the worst consequences of misspelling) was:  Organismal Biology which is studying plant or animal biology at the whole-organism, species, population, and community levels.  And I will leave it at that as to what the misspelling resulted in.
