Presentation of mixed-methods research on undergraduate students’ sense of community and belonging in in-person, hybrid, and online introductory math and statistics courses at Duke University from Fall 2020 through Spring 2022.
There has been significant innovation in introductory statistics and data science courses to equip students with the statistical, computing, and communication skills needed for modern data analysis. Innovating subsequent courses is also important, so students can continue developing these skills beyond the first course. In this session, we’ll present a modern approach to teaching undergraduate regression analysis, the second statistics course for many students. We’ll share strategies for using real-world data sets and examples, teaching modern computing skills, and incorporating non-technical skills such as writing and effective collaboration as part of the course.
Talk about the similarities and differences between introductory statistics and introductory data science courses.
