i thought it only fair -- since i'm requiring my students in Bioststatistics and Experimental Design (EBIO 408/708) to keep a blog -- that i should start one up myself.
(actually, i believe i started one way back in the paleozoic of the blogosphere [that is, a couple of years ago], but i don't think i ever did anything with it, and i can't seem to remember what i called it, nor where it even was.)
so i'm requiring my students to record their various musings about their own voyages of statistical discovery in order to engage in what the educational psychologists call 'metacognition' -- thinking about how they think about things. of course, journal-keeping in academic disciplines is nothing new (although i suppose it is a bit unusual in a stats course), but i hadn't heard of anyone using this newfangled technology to enable students to read and respond to one another's thoughts.
i'm curious to see what they write.
