Site visits are designed to provide a connection between 1818 statistics instructors and the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Saint Louis University.  1818 statistics instructors should expect to be visited by a 1818 faculty liaison almost every year.  A 1818 faculty liaison will contact the 1818 statistics instructor by email to set up a day and time for the visit that works well for the instructor.  During the visit the liaison may want to briefly address the visited class, however the majority of the the visit time will be spent with the liaison observing a typical class day. If time permits, the class and other matter pertaining to the course, such as exams or R, will be discussed after the observation. A form describing the visit will then be completed by the 1818 faculty liaison with copies sent to both the 1818 office and the 1818 instructor.
