Book Description
An Introduction to Statistics: An Active Learning Approach,Second Edition 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 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.
