ideas for improvement

  • Share slides/handout earlier.
  • Share live script in class through Dropbox or similar so that students never get lost with code (see http://environmentalpolicy.ucdavis.edu/blog/2015/09/394). Casto also looks nice for that (works better in Chrome than Firefox).
  • Ask questions/live polls in class to detect misunderstandings and unknowns as early as possible (e.g. using https://getkahoot.com/ or https://polleverywhere.com)
  • Have voluntary homework for those students who want to have a go at home.
  • Omit mixed models?
  • Have more examples of molecular/lab biology.
  • Change Iris by a more exciting dataset (e.g. pigeon racing, cup stacking speed, etc http://blog.yhat.com/posts/7-funny-datasets.html; belly button biodiversity http://navels.yourwildlife.org/). Or the mammal sleep dataset. Or employment trajectories of Spanish B.S. after graduating. Or this dataset on paper planes.
  • Explain better that logistic regression is a non-linear model: effect of continuous predictor depends on where we are in the logistic curve (maybe also mention Gelman's divide-by-4 rule). Hence interpretation of allEffects with categorical and continuous predictor is not straightforward (plots much better).
  • Give some tips about model selection, increasing model complexity, choosing model with or without interactions, etc
  • Put more emphasis on calibration plots (obs-predicted)
  • Emphasize y ~ Normal(a + bx, sigma2) terminology over y = a + bx. More robust and extrapolable to other distributions later
