Hi Asal,
I just wanted to sent you a quick email to thank you for the proposal
submission. I read the email you sent to Dennis, and your project idea to
incorporate creative approaches to the sciences is extremely interesting.
I am actually currently earning my own doctorate of education (that is how
I got involved with VOICES), and I think your research, experience, and
expertise are extremely interesting.
Thank you so much for submitting your proposal!

Abstract:
In an introductory statistics service course for post-secondary students,
I included a data analysis course project that required students to analyze
a real data set retrieved from OECD (2017) regarding social network
support. In order to make this experience both fun and meaningful for
students, I invited them to create a vocal or visual presentation of their
statistical results for receiving an extra-credit. I received three
song-submissions. One of which is a video that is a show case of a student
playing on a piano singing a song that he wrote and composed. Another
student used parody of Taylor Swift's song "you belong with me". Lastly, a
student wrote a song that he sings with no instrument support.
