Abstract:
This article describes 'The World of Chance', an unconventional statistics course taught at the University of Canberra since 1998, modeled on the Chance courses devised at Dartmouth College. Statistical concepts are introduced via a mixture of lectures, class distributions of news stories, and activities.
