Session Description:
Teaching a statistics course to non-statistics majors can be a challenge (students’ fear of math, being the only statistics instructor in the department, etc.). Faculty members on this panel will share their approaches/experiences in teaching statistics, discuss implementing best practices, and answer questions from the audience. We would like this to be the start of building a community of instructors that can provide guidance, support, and mentorship.
Learning Outcomes:
-
Identify different approaches to reduce student fears on quantitative methods
-
Describe approaches to teaching quantitative methods to facilitate student learning
-
Locate faculty across campus who teach quantitative methods that may be able to provide guidance/mentorship for new instructors teaching statistics
