Abstract:
|
Capstone experiences allow for the synthesis of undergraduate coursework and experience. A data practicum in statistics can serve a number of different undergraduate majors. In this talk, the experience of moving from an early manifestation of this practicum course as a well-defined set of lab exercises to an open-ended consulting experience with clients is discussed. The relationship of this redesigned capstone with writing outcomes and with service learning are discussed. Examples of student work, challenges of assessment and reactions to this class will be discussed.
