Abstract:
|
How can professors and teachers supplement the introductory statistics curriculum with topics that broaden our students' view of the field and entice them to further their study of statistics? What should we be teaching students interested in taking a second course in applied statistics? What can teachers of AP Statistics do to get students excited about a career in statistics (or a statistics-related field)? This panel will include practical examples of advanced topics in statistics in the context of other disciplines, field trip and panel ideas, and curriculum information for a second course in statistics.
