Description

The active session will explore what topics we find difficult to teach. Common examples include: what are degrees of freedom; when should we divide by n and when by n-1? But moving on from these classics, we want to delve deeper into the things that trip us up when performing in front of an audience of students.

The session will commence with a short introduction and then settle into small groups for us to share our niggling challenges. The challenges will be collated and together we will review them and see what interesting solutions we come up with.

The session will be co-ordinated by Jacqi Asscher, Shirley Coleman and Sonja Kuhnt who between them have many enjoyable (often exhausting) years of explaining our wonderful subject to other people.
