So good news - I am teaching Stats again this fall!  :)    Ok - the bummer is that it is 8 AM, three days a week, but hopefully it will help turn me into more of a morning person!  And I only have classes and meetings and whatnot on M/W/F, which means I can stay home T/Th, which is a blessing because by the time I take the bus or drive to campus, park and walk in, and do the same thing on the return trip, it eats up an hour to an hour and a half of my time.

So I have been working on my stats class, improving things from when I taught it in the summer.  Making my own worksheets, finding better examples, and even incorporating some ideas from the class I took this summer on how to be an online instructor.  I am pretty excited and think it will benefit my students a lot.  There is an online gallery where they can post badly used statistics and graphs and charts.  Investigative tasks where they work in groups finding the odds for Vegas games.  Designing research plans for tractors and backhoes.  All kinds of fun!

School starts on Monday...  So a few more days of freedom and then back to the grind!  It is raining here with thunder and lightning.  So amazing!  I love it!
