Many of us teach. We know the joy of encountering eager and curious minds, and then drilling them on the proper use of a z-table, the memorization of sum of squares formulae, and the rote recitation of the definition of a p-value. But not all aspects of teaching give such satisfaction. Personally, I find it tedious to continually construct exams and quizzes that are fresh and fun. There is an unremitting search to find interesting data sets that achieve specific pedagogic purposes. And I know many new teachers value access to prewritten and battle-tested lecture notes.
