Abstract

Welcome back to TPM ! While we’ve added a few heading styles, very little has changed since TPM last appeared some two years ago. The newsletter will arrive in your mailbox twice a year (early December and April) and will contain articles on topics related to teaching, research, section news, and current methodological debates, all interlaced with that special brand of methods humor. In my inaugural issue, the teaching section focuses on teaching undergraduate methods – a thankless and often unsatisfying task, if you poll faculty. Contributors suggest how we might think about what undergraduate methods courses should do and offer suggestions for texts and assignments. The collective wisdom here goes some way toward making the job more satisfying and maybe even enticing.
