Abstract:
Undergraduates at California State University, Chico's College of Agriculture do experimental research including data analysis. Desire to see if treatments differ, motivates students to learn inferential statistics. Students analyze data with ANOVA programs written for Microsoft Excel. These programs return an analysis with one or at most a few mouse clicks; they handle missing data - a problem in real world experiments. In statewide science competitions, our students routinely place first or second.
