Montana math
standards call for increased knowledge of statistics. Do you want to
improve your comfort level with data, variation, and inference?
MSU-Bozeman's online summer course will expand your view of statistics
as a dynamic and useful decision-making tool. Details are below!
- M518: Statistics for Teaching (online)
- Dates: June 12 – July 28 (seven weeks)
- Format: Weekly projects, asynchronous discussions, simulations using TinkerPlots software
- More information: http://btc.montana.edu/courses/aspx/descrip3.aspx?TheID=228
- Still have questions? Contact the course coordinator: jennifer.luebeck@montana.edu
Course Description: Stochastic
concepts including probabilistic underpinnings of statistics, measures
of central tendency, variability, correlation, distributions, sampling,
and simulation. Exploratory data analysis including experiments,
surveys, measures of association and inferential statistics. Discussion
of methods for teaching statistics in secondary mathematics and
science. This course is designed to engage students using a modeling and simulation approach to inference. Students will be exposed to numerous examples of real-world applications of statistics that are designed to help them think like statisticians and develop a conceptual understanding of statistics. Students will
gain an understanding of the foundational concepts of data, variation
and inference, as well as an appreciation for the fundamental role that statistics plays in a host of disciplines, such as business, economics, law, and medicine.
