Abstract:
|
An introductory-level statistics course designed for nonmajors in the general education program was taught online based on a self-learning structure and a mastery-level assessment set up. In this talk we will describe the contents, the unique structure and the instructor's non-traditional role in this course. A comparison of student performance with those of the traditionally taught section along with some actual student comments will be shared.
