(New graphical forms such as the star, weathervane, facial...)
New graphical forms such as the star, weathervane, facial, and anatomical glyphs as well as an Andrews plot, the Tukey line, and the box plot with whiskers are included. Data density and lie factor algorithms are developed for the examination of graphical displays. New tabular forms are developed including the extended five number summary table and the stem and leaf table. Appropriate conditions for selecting among the arithmetic, harmonic, geometric, trimmed, and Winsorized means as well as the median and broadened median. Measures of dispersion are developed as companions to the measures of location including a standard deviation for the median. Curve fitting models are examined for both monotonic and non-monotonic data sets with the goal of minimizing the magnitude of the residuals. The analysis of variance for studies with unequal sample sizes in the treatment levels is developed as well as the analysis of variance for repeated subjects studies. Algorithms for testing the homogeneity of variance and the linearity of regression are illustrated as part of the development of the analysis of covariance.

(Institutional and professorial integrity were the hallmar...)
Institutional and professorial integrity were the hallmarks of the greatest intellectual institution of our time, the American university. Both forms of integrity are now under daily attack by forces more concerned with the business aspects of a university. Sports programs have become more important than academic rigor. Universities are unique social institutions with the two responsibilities: 1) teaching adults how to think and reason in a variety of disciplines with the goal of becoming a functioning problem solver and 2) to create the next generation of knowledge makers. In the great universities, these responsibilities are accomplished by active researcher/teachers organized around intellectual guilds called departments. Administrators are drawn from faculty who are well-established scholars. In the past two decades, this structure has been under attack by those who view a university as a business. Faculty have become employees. Under the business model, the very essence of a university as a place to explore all sides of an idea has been gradually replaced with a corporate uneasiness with controversy of any kind. The result of changing from the collegial model to the business model has been a dumbing down of academic programs and an ever increasing number of breaches of integrity. A theory for the renewal of institutional integrity is advanced and its implementation discussed within a university setting.

These are times when the quality of undergraduate teaching is being reexamined at most research universities in the United States. The higher education profession has rediscovered the need for a quality program for undergraduate teaching, and its immediate impact upon student retention. An improved national reputation for the institution is a serendipitous additional outcome of improved teaching. This is a book of suggestions about teaching, and is intended for those who are new to teaching at the higher education level. Assistant professors fresh from completing a Ph.D., newly appointed instructors, first year graduate teaching assistants are the intended audience, and those professors responsible for helping new employees adjust to a professorial life. Twenty-one teaching tactics are described in clear, simple English. Pick and choose those that seem the most helpful to you. One last piece of advice, effective teaching is much more an art form than it is a science. Just as artists develop their own distinctive style, so too it is with teachers.
