An Introduction to Statistics: An Active Learning Approach

<p><strong><span>An Introduction to Statistics: An Active Learning Approach, <em>Second Edition</em></span></strong><strong><span> </span></strong><span>by Kieth A. Carlson and Jennifer R. Winquist takes a unique, active approach to teaching and learning introductory statistics that allows students to discover and correct their misunderstandings as chapters progress rather than at their conclusion. Empirically-developed, self-correcting activities reinforce and expand on fundamental concepts, targeting and holding students’ attention. Based on contemporary memory research, this learner-centered approach leads to better long-term retention through active engagement while<em> </em>generating explanations. Along with carefully placed reading questions, this edition includes learning objectives, realistic research scenarios, practice problems, self-test questions, problem sets, and practice tests to help students become more confident in their ability to perform statistics. </span></p><br /><p> </p>
