Teaching

I will be teaching for the first time this fall (statistics to undergraduate business school students). Does anyone have any advice?

We’ve done what now?

Carleton is in the news again! We’re in the news again! Surprisingly enough, not because of problems! Well, I must say… I haven’t seen anything new, except new paint on some of those call-box things, and some new (closed circuit) cameras installed in some areas.
