The Keystone Combination: Team Teaching in a Sabermetrics Course
PRIMUS
(1997)
Abstract
The Society for American Baseball Research (SABR), formed in 1971, has given rise to the term “Sabermetrics”, which noted practitioner Bill James has defined as “the search for objective knowledge about baseball.” Mathematics, by its very nature, is objective, but baseball opinion is often based on a subjective interpretation of events. Thus, a one-credit course in Sabermetrics team-taught by two professors allows for a broader range of opinion to be introduced in class. Students also benefit from the two different teaching styles offered.
