I am working on the final chapter to "Introduction to Statistics Through Resampling Methods and R." My questions for the active teachers among us include:
would you consider adopting such a text for your introductory classes?
the exercises are located at the end of each subsection and not at the end of the chapter. OK with you?
some of the points are to be discovered by the student while doing an exercise--they are not spelled out in the text. OK with you?
the final exercise in each chapter asks the student to prrovide definitions for all italicized words in the chapter (a simple matter of copying and some rephrasing) ok with you?
Please direct all replies to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and not to the list (unless you feel they would be of general interest to the group). I would be happy to provide a table of contents or one or more sample chapters on request and would welcome your comments.
Not incidentally, a major barrier to adoption of this text may be that instructors will find that some of the material is not in the course notes they got back in the day from their own instructors. Bootstrap confidence intervals? The Pesarin-Fisher multivariate omnibus test?
