Abstract:
In 2005, the Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) college
report described several recommendations for teaching introductory statistics. This paper
discusses how a large multi-section introductory course was redesigned in order to implement
these recommendations. The experience described discusses the key sections of the GAISE
report and sheds light on the challenges that must be overcome in putting them in place. The
result is a course which addresses both the ―how to‖ and big picture of statistics.
