4 years ago - they found thinking in terms of mechanisms (rather than populations) a bit abstract, and I didn't have good enough examples of this
- likelihood ratios introduced too early?
- need an exercise on Population and Sample page?
- it didn't need the full three hours
- Dewey / Truman works but is quite text heavy -- visualise?
- sampling variation good
- sampling distn of the mean good
- questions worked well
- bootstrap good, but can we make it more visual?
- really hard to tell how they are doing on the exercises
- central limit theorem nice, but the exercise is too open-ended?

Copied from before: 10:56:27 From Marian Hamshere to Daniel Farewell(Privately) : We have identified some useful pre-reading ahead of our next session: Chapter 11 (Confidence intervals) from Petrie and Sabin.^MI do like 2-page chapters! You will see that it mentions the bootstrap that we explored briefly in session 06.^MIt would also be helpful to me if you could have a quick look at the Wikipedia page on 'maximum likelihood estimation', following at least^Mone link to a term you don't understand. 11:43:12 From Marian Hamshere to Daniel Farewell(Privately) : that Q is from me :) 11:46:07 From Marian Hamshere : @richarddmorey on twitter 11:46:59 From Marian Hamshere : @learnfromerror on twitter: Deborah Mayo 11:47:30 From Marian Hamshere : @hadleywickham on twitter 12:48:03 From Connor Madden : I really like how this is 12:48:16 From Jessica Burrage : yeah i liked this lecture 12:48:29 From Ella Kennett : I agree, I like the mixture of questions and content 12:48:44 From Benedict : Same here 12:49:00 From Tom Berry : Agreed
