Students in the sciences, economics, social sciences, and medicine
take an introductory statistics course. And yet statistics can be
notoriously difficult for instructors to teach and for students to
learn. To help overcome these challenges, Gelman and Nolan have put
together this fascinating and thought-provoking book. Based on
years of teaching experience the book provides a wealth of
demonstrations, activities, examples, and projects that involve
active student participation. Part I of the book presents a large
selection of activities for introductory statistics courses and has
chapters such as 'First week of class'- with exercises to break the
ice and get students talking; then descriptive statistics,
graphics, linear regression, data collection (sampling and
experimentation), probability, inference, and statistical
communication. Part II gives tips on what works and what doesn't,
how to set up effective demonstrations, how to encourage students
to participate in class and to work effectively in group projects.
Course plans for introductory statistics, statistics for social
scientists, and communication and graphics are provided. Part III
presents material for more advanced courses on topics such as
decision theory, Bayesian statistics, sampling, and data science.
