Students have a choice as to whether or not they are interacting with these notes on their computer or in a printout. They're available in both ways, in a very economical way for them to use that content. And if you keep it active enough, they can't get distracted by going off to some other side or texting other friends. That is one of their main pieces for studying and referencing. I thint i' don't even have a text book for this class, for the central stat class that's required. So this is the cor content that they work through.

Quotes from the episode
I’m always looking for one new thing, one new idea to try in an upcoming term.
I think it’s important that I keep learning. And not just learning inside my own discipline, but learning outside my discipline.
