Abstract:
|
About 2500 students a year take our introductory statistics course, and that amount is increasing 5% a year. About 40% are business majors, 20% are business minors, and the rest are from disciplines all across campus. About three years ago, some disturbing issues were occurring, too much variation. In addition, instructor changes from faculty only to some faculty and master's students and now to Ph.D. students with an occasional faculty member needed to be addressed. The urgency of the situation demanded some immediate change along with some long-term changes. Our department, our college, and the university have been excited about the progress we are making in light of the constraints. As a result, the students are learning statistics better; and there is a waterfall affect on other courses, majors, and minors. This paper addresses this journey and solutions!
