I opted to do the food lab today instead of the experimental learning lab. Not all of my students have been exposed to chi-squared distributions before, so I thought they would be missing out if we skipped it. Plus, today was a day I had not reserved the computers. (Administration, after receiving complaints that we were hogging the computers, decreed I can reserve them no more than 3-4 days in a row.) Tomorrow is an unreserved day also, but I told my students I will try to get the computers in the morning. I know from experience that our teachers do not often use the laptop carts.
None of my students seemed to mind my executive decision. Sugar = good. We used Fruit Loops.
