    1. The unity and diversity of life

      Much better application of a pull quote.

      One note: I replaced the italicized words with bolded words. The CSS on the page automatically colors bolded words in pull quotes green, as you can see here, which is a cool way to add aesthetics to the stress of certain words.

    1. Your Course Project will pull together your growing understanding

      I feel like we should use pull-out quotes more sparingly than we may be inclined to out the gate. I don't actually think a pull quote is necessary, here. This line is too informational to justify drawing so much attention to itself.

    1. I think the "Support Resources" block should be moved to the bottom of this page from the Teaching Team page.

    2. Rather than "Welcome" at the top, I think that's a good place for "Philosophy of this course."

    3. Everything about this page kicks ass.

    4. Replace "Hello! here's..." with "[Instructor Name] will be your be your instructor for this course." The spot for the video will most often be used for images, but videos may also be employed. The accompanying text will be bio.

    5. "Start" should become "Continue" once students have actually started making progress.

    1. between variables in order to make an informed decision.     Spreadsheets and statistical calculators are very efficient at computing the best fit lines for scatter plots. This is done by applying a least-squares regression line to obtain the best fit line.  This approach attempts to limit the error (or residual) difference between points in the scatter plot and points on the best-fit line.   The correlation coefficient r (also known as Pearson’s r) tells us the strength of the relationship between the independent variable x and dependent

      Extra spaces in the overview.

    1. The Central Limit Theorem is the cornerstone of inferential statistics.  In general, this theorem states that, if we draw many same size samples from a population, and plot the values of the means of those samples, the mean of this distribution will approximate the value of the population mean.  It is this powerful theorem that makes it possible to draw inferences about population parameters when we don’t know the nature of the population distribution.

      This is the first one where it occurs to me, but it might be good to link to or describe an example of this being applied in the real world. A simple one, though. Super duper simple.

    1. Easy Histogram Maker. Links to an external site.

      One link is fine. Two links to the same site, on the same page, unless there's a specific reason to do so, is generally a bad idea: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/duplicate-links/

    1. Desmos Scientific Calculator Desmos Graphing Calculator GeoGebra Scientific Calculator Calculator.net iPhone Scientific Calculator RealCalc (Android Phones)

      I love that these link to tutorials of Bruce going over their use. That's excellent attention to detail.

    1. College Algebra for Environmental Professionals (MATH 101)

      It will be interesting to build on the hyperlinked, interconnectedness of the Hub; if these could link to pages where the resources for each course are curated for instance, that's interesting.

    1. Welcome Message

      This page, and most of the others I've seen, needs a max-width HTML setting for the boxes containing the content. It gets a little too wide, otherwise, and can be hard to read on large screens.
