Abstract:
|
The University of Redlands offers an undergraduate consulting course in which students participate in the entire consulting process. The course is an upper division math class with a listed prerequisite of an introductory statistics class. In reality, except for math majors, the only prerequisite is a college level algebra class. This talk will address how projects are obtained from faculty and administrators, industry, government, and investigators of national health studies. The statistical topics to which the students are exposed will be described. Information will also be given as to how the class is structured to provide the students with an opportunity to experience consulting from the viewpoint of the statistician. The end product of the class is a group of students who are prepared to work with statisticians within their own fields or to continue their studies in statistics.
