Thanks again for participating as an investigator/client for 36-726, Statistical Practice, this spring. We know of no way to teach students the practice of statistics other than actually "getting their hands dirty" and without you that would not be possible. By now you should have students' final reports, and you saw their final presentations in class. Could you please take a minute or two and respond to the questions below? Each question is Y/N, followed by space for optional comments. Your feedback is important for two reasons. First, we will consider them when providing end-of-semester feedback & evaluations to the students in the class. Second, it helps us to know if the current format and organization of Advanced Data Analysis is successful. Please reply to brian@stat.cmu.edu and fill your answers in the appropriate places. thanks again; hope you have a great summer. -BJ Brian Junker (412) 268 - 2718 Department of Statistics brian@stat.cmu.edu 232 Baker Hall FAX: (412) CMU-STAT Carnegie Mellon University or (412) 268-7828 Pittsburgh PA 15213 USA WWW: http://www.stat.cmu.edu/~brian/ ===================================================== Investigator Name: Team Members: Project Title: INTERACTION WITH TEAM Was the frequency of meetings with the Stat Practice team about right?
