 New Teaching Essentials Handbook
There is a new look to the 2016-17 Teaching Essentials: Delivering Engaging Classes handbook. The handbook has been completely revised by Ragvir Sabharwal, 2nd year PhD student in Statistics and has been given a new design. As always, we welcome your feedback on this handbook which we hope will be your first point of reference for information on teaching in the Department of Statistics.
The new handbook will be available at the GTA/Guest Teacher Welcome Meeting and Induction, and from the department’s administration offices. It will also be available online.
