Abstract:
|
"Redesign." The buzz word for the year. What does that look like on a big scale? How can you get more students to do more work for entry-level statistics courses?The University of Mississippi has been in the process of redesigning entry level mathematics courses for several years now. We've run trials of several different methods as well as efforts to maximize student outcomes and instructor resources. This presentation will showcase what has been learned and will seek to help others explore how to redesign their own introductory statistics courses.
