Abstract:
This paper describes the incorporation of experiences in statistical practice into an introductory service statistics course at Appalachian State University. Statistical concepts are introduced by exposing students to relevant data problems in non mathematical terms. Emphasizing an exploratory approach to data analysis and an experimental attitude, question formulation is developed.
