I don't have any questions". Now with the context that it's apparently different from a standard AP stats course, I'll perhaps at least clarify why I like it.<br /><br />I like the idea of cycling through multiple times, so that students get to reapply the skills. (Did you go to Mary B & Alex O's session at TMC on spiralling through a curriculum? It feels like that's a bit what you're doing.) Teaching my (Ontario) stats course, I also separate a one variable unit from a two variable unit. (Students still confuse three "quartile" groups with three "median-median" points, but I try.) I tend to start with probability and move into all the data, but I can equally see doing it at the end. So... yeah, good on you for this. I hope the projects plan works out.Gregory Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547180132612659893noreply@blogger.com
