Abstract:

A statistical consulting course was first offered at the University of Central Oklahoma in fall 2009. Seven students, both undergraduate and graduate, were enrolled in the course. The students worked in groups on two separate projects for non-profit agencies in Oklahoma City. This talk will provide information about this experience, including the rewards and challenges of teaching such a course. Recommendations for the implementation of similar courses at other universities will also be provided.
