Video Presentation
Each presentation in this symposium will have two parts: a recorded video of about 45 minutes, and a live webinar of about an hour. Each speaker will record a video of their talk, which will be posted a week or two before the live webinar. At the live event, the presenter will give a brief recap of the highlights of the video, but most of the time will be reserved for discussion and questions from the audience. We therefore encourage symposium participants to watch the videos before the live events.

Abstract
This presentation provides strategies for faculty members who would like to teach reproducibility in undergraduate courses but aren’t sure how to do it or are worried about already having too much content to cover. Particular attention is given to courses wher instructors teach students to use SPSS or STATA through menu-driven commands. The strategies range from presenting basic but entertaining information about what reproducibility is to teaching a full reproducibility protocol. The presentation ends with a brief discussion of how experiential learning can be harnessed to effectively teach reproducibility.
