:Beyond my official duties, I helped develop a lengthy study guide for my students.  (See parts [[Media:CalcStudyGuidePart1.pdf|1]];  [[Media:CalcStudyGuidePart2.pdf|2]]; and [[Media:CalcStudyGuidePart3a.pdf|3a]] and [[Media:CalcStudyGuidePart3b.pdf|3b]]). Though, in the guide, I credited Don Allers as the author, I more than doubled the length of his document and substantially improved the exposition.

I am working on typing up my class notes for STAT 202 (Basic Statistics) into something that I hope will replace the textbook.  This work is discussed [[Guides|here]].
