- This is my understanding of the Bayesian Shrinkage Methodology.
For a nice paper using this to understand the impact of patent examiners, see
Feng, J., & Jaravel, X. (2020). Crafting intellectual property rights: Implications for patent assertion entities, litigation, and innovation. American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, 12(1), 140-81.
interesting example, i now understand why there's pervasive grade inflation.
joking aside, good explanation.
In my humble opinion, the act of teaching is much LESS about sharing what you know (that is, it is less about the act of DELIVERING information) and is, instead, much MORE about ensuring that the student understands (that is, it is more about ensuring RECEIPT of that information by the student).
So, for example, if you were to adapt your presentation style such that there was a tiny voice in your head which was constantly asking "Am I delivering this information in a way that a novice would understand what I was saying and what I was writing? " Similarly, if that voice asked, "In what ways could a novice watch what I'm doing and still MISunderstand what I'm attempting to deliver? How can I prevent or correct that?"
Case in point: If you're penmanship is so poor, that the student can't tell what the symbols are (e.g., operators, variables, etc.), it begs the question, "Is the writing even helpful?" If it is not helping, why bother doing it?
I am quite convinced that taking a RECIPIENT-centric view of teaching will prove much more effective and efficient at transitioning people from novice to proficient than a DELIVERY/DELIVERER-centric view of teaching. It's not about you understanding about how you delivered the information it is about ensuring your student's ability to understand what you delivered. Making your penmanship clear and professional-looking could go a long way to ensuring clarity with your student.
Give it a try on one of your sessions - see if the students respond positively.
I find the handwriting perfectly good. As a recipient, I must write it down myself anyways. Its impossible to learn math and stats without doing the work yourself.
@dirrelito it sounds like his style and penmanship work well for your prefered modes of learning. That's wonderful news. Thanks for sharing.
try just focusing on your students.. avoid the impulse to serve as god of the teaching universe.
Sorry, but this video was terrible. Using year and class as 2 different variables was a bit weird, I still haven't been able to understand the setup of the problem that you are trying to communicate.
