Re: [SBI] early registration for USCOTS ends on April 1 (no foolin')

Jessica, I know this isn't research methods per se, but it's nearby. I took a simulation workshop from sender of the message (Rossman and Chance) and use his and his partner's websites in my classes. If you have a free weekend, and there's something interesting in the program, maybe it's worth a trip up for you to see if anybody's talking about gamification. You could think of it as a big-G paper ecological survey trip.

I might add that some of the pre-conference workshops address simulation-based inference in various forms. Thanks for considering this, and please help to spread the word to others who might be interested, Allan Rossman From: owner-isostat(a)venus.cc.oberlin.edu [mailto:owner-isostat@venus.cc.oberlin.edu] On Behalf Of Allan Rossman Sent: Saturday, March 25, 2017 9:51 AM To: isostat(a)oberlin.edu Subject: [isostat] early registration for USCOTS ends on April 1 (no foolin') Hi folks, Early registration for the 2017 U.S. Conference on Teaching Statistics (USCOTS), to be held at Penn State on May 18-20, ends on April 1 (no foolin'), so please register soon. The theme for this year's conference is "Show Me the Data!" The conference will feature an opening session led by Chris Wild (Univ of Auckland), plenary presentations by Rob Kass (Carnegie Mellon), Deb Nolan (Univ of California - Berkeley), Mine Cetinkaya-Rundel (Duke Univ), and Jay Lehmann (College of San Mateo), four sets of interactive breakout sessions, and two "posters and beyond" sessions. The conference will also feature pre-conference workshops, exhibitor demonstrations, "birds of a feather" discussion groups, a social media challenge, and a banquet dinner and awards presentation. More information about the program can be found at: https://www.causeweb.org/cause/uscots/uscots17/program. Despite all of the highly informative and entertaining aspects of the conference above, the real highlight of USCOTS is getting to know and chat with others who are committed to improving their teaching of statistics. Please join in the fun and exchange of ideas by registering before April 1 at: https://www.causeweb.org/cause/uscots/uscots17/register I hope to see you at Penn State in May.
