New Math Ph. D. Course

...how to handle this situation:"I was sort of tapped on the shoulder and asked, 'Do you want to teach a statistics class?"' said Masterson, the graduate student association president and a University of Cincinnati doctoral candidate. "The philosophy is, if you have a master's in the subject, you know it well enough to teach it." But he warned: "How do you handle a racial comment that targets another student? How do you manage classroom tension? You don't get that."
