Stat 200

Stat 200 is a course centered around active learning. Students complete activities in class that use TinkerPlots to explore new statistical concepts through building probability models and simulating results with them. They then watch lecture videos outside of class as homework to help solidify these ideas that they explored. Students finally return to class to complete their "homework" assignment, which is centered around statistical reasoning and carrying out statistical analyses in RStudio.

The resources provided here give a preview to the content used in this course, but it is not the complete set of material for the course. If you are a statistics instructor and wish to obtain more materials, such as the assessments, videos, or teacher annotations, please email me and I'd be happy to share! For the materials shared publicly here, you are free to adapt anything you see here, but please do not re-upload or publicly share these in their original form.

TinkerPlots Activities

The activities designed here are adapted from the curriculum I developed with Jennifer Noll on her CAREER grant as part of a course I taught at Portland State. Many of these activities and data sets have come from the CATALST curriculum and the Rossman and Chance applet collection.
