VIGRE Colloquia
In order to
provide a forum for informal discussion of important topics of the day,
and to help break down barriers between faculty, postdocs, and students,
the Department of Statistics has mounted a series of "Teas" or informal
colloquia, open to all in the department.
There are two
separate series: Teaching Teas and Research
Teas. They are usually held in the department lounge, or a
conference room if more space is needed. Usually a speaker "sets the
stage" and the remaining time is spent in informal discussion over
cookies, coffee, soft drinks, and of course tea.
Some
Recent Teaching Teas:
- First Time Teaching Experiences of New Faculty
- Updating 36-350 (undergraduate data mining course)
- Undergraduate Courses: Recent Developments, Changes and Experiences
- Which Statistics Are Students Learning?
- Understanding the Millenials
Some Recent Research Teas:
- Non-academic Jobs
- Using the Department's Parallel Computers
- Visit of Stacy Lindborg
- Hi-Tech Tools for Research
- SMARTS: Accelerating Microarchitecture Simulation via Rigorous
Statsitical Sampling
- Support Vector
