I am not teaching in Fall 2024 nor in the foreseeable future.

teaching material

If you are teaching an introductory statistics class in the “barrage of hypothesis tests” tradition, you may find my cheatsheet on common hypothesis tests useful. I also wrote distributions3 to be an approachable set of tools for manipulating probability distributions. The package vignettes are designed to walk students though many classic hypothesis tests.

Based on my teaching in the 2018-2019 academic year I received a Statistics Department Outstanding TA award. Outside of academic settings, I used to devote a fair amount of time to teaching R workshops for the Rice DataSci club, and to helping people make their first open source contributions, primarily to the broom package.
