5. Welcome! Today we will discuss: Changes made to offer a reduced seat time classroom Statistics showing students are doing fine Use of LaunchPad to take advantage of the learning resources

6. Elementary Statistics Course Class Materials Utilized Moore, McCabe and Craig, Introduction to the Practice of Statistics, 8e StatTutor Lectures in StatsPortal Homework problems from end of sections - online - with unlimited attempts Labs and project as before

7. Reduced Seat Time Class structure Face to face hours reduced from 4 days of 50 min. periods to 3 days of 50 min. periods Flipped classroom approach – Student questions and requests for examples – Hard test questions from past done in groups – Short case problems in design of experiments and observational studies

8. Examples of class activities Large data sets (approx. 200 data points) for histograms and boxplots that students do in groups. The normal intimidation factor was diminished. Case studies allowing students to develop experimental designs in class. Each group had a different case for sharing their design toward the end of the period.

9. Grading 20% StatTutor and homework 20% Labs and Project 60% in class paper and pencil tests (proctored)

10. What Works Students like having more control over time and their grades through StatTutor and online homework Students are more engaged in class with small group activities Having a highly-supported StatTutor experience followed by online homework (that provides a lesser amount of support) means students are aware of what they don’t know
