Statistician and high school teacher

edit

He also wrote (an excellent) schoolbook for highschool statistics, and was good (by my experience excellent - I was one of those students) high school educator for that subject. He used well both his communicating cabilities (known also from his literary work), and his thorough knowledge of both theory and practical statistics, to lay out his subject in such a way to get - and keep - attention of most of his students, and to induce them to understand, and use well, what they learned from the subject.

He also had unusual (at least for that time and place) way for (written) exams, First part required applying statistical tecniques and computation to data, and you could use any help you wanted (textbook, referece book calculator, computer and software...). Then you had to turn everything of that to the table in the front, before you got questions for the second part of the exam - which was mainly interpretation od the data and results you got in the first part. If I recall well (it was awhile ago and I passed without needing oral), you could discuss an error in computations part at oral, but for serious interpretation error you were sent to relearn (at least) what you mislearned.

I'll add about some of that to the article (including inline citations asked for) when I find suitable sources for citations. Currently working at it. --Marjan Tomki SI (talk) 17:41, 6 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
