This is awesome! Quick question -- I'm wondering how much of your lessons incorporated acknowledging the huge assumptions anyone who uses any kind of stats makes (and the fact that you can't just "check" if they're "true" or "false"). As a practicing statistician and social science researcher I find that it's common to take a very formulaic approach to stats -- just plug in numbers into formulas, accept and reject hypotheses, and you're done! -- which is psychologically pleasing but ultimately a bad approach. Perhaps another area to evolve stats education?
