"break-the-ice" w.r.t. communication
Either
(a) bring one or 2 (preferably digital) photos to share with the class: e.g. from a
vacation or trip, or family, or showing the country/region/place you come from, etc. etc.
[its a less stressful way to get up in public and tell us a small bit about yourself.]
{use this assignment as a way to get familiar with Powerpoint, or -- BETTER STILL --
with statisticians' favourite presentation tool: the
Beamer class in
LateX.}
{There is already a computer and projector in the classroom. If you wish, you can email
the presentation to JH ahead of time so he can have it pre-loaded on his computer: don't worry:
he will delete it after the class}
or
(b) (on the classroom computer) show us some items from your facebook or a similar social-networking site!
