    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
