STAT 437 - Lecture Videos

All of the lecture content will be posted to Learn in this section. This page will remain updated as a way to help you access this content in an organized fashion. 

Questions, Comments, or Concerns

If you have any questions about anything discussed in the lecture videos, please feel free to send a message on Teams or book an office hour slot to discuss. If you would rather ask your question anonymously you can access an anonymous survey on Learn to ask questions whenever. I will keep an updated Q&A on the course website. 

Suggested Video Schedule

This following schedule lists the recommended videos to watch, based on the progression throughout the term.

Note: do not feel obligated to follow the schedule as outlined; you are welcome to adjust to fit your own needs. Doing this will ensure that you stay on track to complete all of the course assessments.

Before beginning into the lecture material for the course, you may want to watch 001. Welcome to STAT 437 as an introduction to the course material, a discussion of the syllabus, course expectations and so forth. If you have any questions, please contact me!
