Does Downloading PowerPoint Slides Before the Lecture Lead to Better Student Achievement?: Reply
This reply responds to a comment by Cannon (2011) that opens the debate on consistency of the effect of downloading PowerPoint slides before lectures on students’ exam performance. Cannon (2011) points out potential endogeneity problems in Chen and Lin (2008) and attempts to explore the unconditional mean effect of downloading PowerPoint slides for the full sample. In this reply, we firstly argue that the estimates in our original article are consistent since the effect of interest is the “conditional†treatment effect but not the unconditional mean effect. We provide explanations for our rationale of estimating the “conditional†treatment effect. Secondly, we propose a modified downloading variable to replicate Cannon’s analysis. Our results suggest that downloading PowerPoint slides before the exam does not produce a significant effect on absent students’ exam performance which is different from the results in Cannon (2011). Our analysis does support Cannon’s argument that students fixed effects are different across different attendance status.

A Fourier-Based Valuation Method for Bermudan and Barrier Options under Heston’s Model
We develop an efficient Fourier-based numerical method for pricing Bermudan and discretely monitored barrier options under the Heston stochastic volatility model. The two-dimensional pricing problem is dealt with by a combination of a Fourier cosine series expansion, as in [F. Fang and C.W. Oosterlee, SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 31 (2008), pp. 826–848, F. Fang and C. W. Oosterlee, Numer. Math., 114 (2009), pp. 27–62], and high-order quadrature rules in the other dimension. Error analysis and experiments confirm a fast error convergence.Delft Institute of Applied MathematicsElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Yi-Fang Lin Piano Recital Program Notes
This report is Yi-Fang Lin Piano Recital Program Notes on April., 23, 2019. The two pieces on the program include Piano Sonata in C minor, K.457 by W.A. Mozart, and Piano Concerto No.1 in F-Sharp minor, Op.1 by S. Rachmaninoff. The note will introduce the life of two composers, the compositional background of individual work, and the analysis of the structure, including tonal design and thematic material in each work
Li Fang-Kuei (1902-1987)
Fang-Kuei Li was one of the foremost scholars of Thai and Sino-Tibetan studies and a major contributor to Amerind studies. Born in China, he was one of the early scholars sent to the United States to study. He had developed an interest in language while learning English, Latin, and German as part of his studies in China, and so he decided to study linguistics in the United States. In 1924, he went to the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, receiving his B.A. 2 years later, then moved to the University of Chicago, where he received his M.A. and Ph.D., studying with Edward Sapir, Leonard Bloomfield, and Carl Darling Buck
