Title: Using Humming To Teach Experimental Design in Introduction Statistics
Author(s): Cora Neal*+
Companies: Sonoma State University
Address: 1801 East Cotati Ave, Rohnert Park, CA, 94928,
Keywords: teaching ; introductory statistics ; experimental design ; hands-on
Abstract:

This interactive presentation will demonstrate a technique that has been successfully used to teach experimental design concepts to introductory statistics students at the college level. By starting the class with this simple activity a formerly boring lecture filled with terms and definitions has been transformed to a lively discussion where students generate the ideas and the instructor attaches the appropriate vocabulary. Audience participation is required, so come ready to hum.
