Abstract:

Join us to discuss experiences and ideas for the design, implementation, and evaluation of group projects in statistics classes. These projects provide the opportunity for higher-level learning in ways that cannot be duplicated with homework, quizzes, or exams as students take those first tentative steps beyond manipulating data toward real understanding of information. Both instructor and student viewpoints are welcome as we explore project ideas, team setup and building, project organization and tracking, and methods for evaluation.
