In Spring 2011 and 2012, I taught the first half of a 2-credit Introduction to Biostatistics course at the Mayo Graduate School. This was a wonderful opportunity to teach highly motivated students, an experience that will translate well to teaching undergraduate math majors, especially those who are bound for graduate school.
Each class period, I asked students questions with Turning Point clickers, which I found to be a useful tool for engaging students with conceptual questions and allowing students to check their own work in a fairly large class (37 students).
This course also gave me experience with coordinating distance learning, to enable students at Mayo's Superior Drive and Jacksonville campuses to take the course. Students at the other campuses attended class by live videoconference, and I used email and Blackboard to communicate with them outside of class. I found teaching by distance somewhat restrictive, as it limited the type of in-class activities I could plan; nevertheless, it was a boon in allowing me to work with students who would not otherwise have been able to take the course.
Below you will find the slides I used for my lectures in this course. Thanks go to Brooke Fridley and Marianne Huebner, who provided me with copies of their slides from previous years.
