# Teaching materials and a course outline {#course}
Most advanced stats books (and some intro-books) take the "everything is GLMM" approach as well. However, the "linear model" part often stays at the conceptual level, rather than being made explicit. I wanted to make linear models the *tool* in a concise way. Luckily, more beginner-friendly materials have emerged lately:

* Russ Poldrack's open-source book "Statistical Thinking for the 21st century" (start at [chapter 5 on modeling](http://statsthinking21.org/fitting-models-to-data.html))
* Russ Poldrack's open-source book "Statistical Thinking for the 21st century" (start at [chapter 5 on modeling](https://statsthinking21.github.io/statsthinking21-core-site/fitting-models.html))
* [Jeff Rouder's course notes](https://jeffrouder.blogspot.com/2019/03/teaching-undergrad-stats-without-p-f-or.html), introducing model comparison using just $R^2$ and BIC. It avoids all the jargon on p-values, F-values, etc. The full materials and slides [are available here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1CiJK--bAuO0F-ug3B5I3FvmsCdpPGZ03).

<p>Here are my own thoughts on what I’d do. I’ve taught parts of this with great success already, but not the whole program since I’m not assigned to teach a full course yet.</p>
