Announcing the "2018 CAUSE A-mu-sing Student Competition"! Any high school,
undergraduate, or graduate student of statistics is eligible to enter unpublished original
examples of statistics jokes/cartoons, songs, poems, or videos for a chance to win cash
prizes, publication in the CAUSEWebfun collection, and possible national recognition
(e.g., at eCOTS 2018)! Entry deadline is April Fool’s Day ( April 1 ), 2018. See [
http://www.causeweb.org/cause/a-mu-sing/2018/rules |
www.causeweb.org/cause/a-mu-sing/2018/rules ]
for complete rules and entry form. Beyond the inherent enjoyment, the task of putting
content into the form of an engaging poem, song, video, etc., can encourage sustained
engagement with and synthesis of major statistics concepts!
(Instructors, don’t despair – A-mu-sing contests open to both students and instructors
will continue to be held in odd-numbered years, and we are now just adding a student-only
contest for even-numbered years.)
