An Inquiry Based Approach for Introductory Statistics

In this talk I will discuss my experiences using IBL methods in Introductory Statistics.  At Susquehanna University, Intro Stats is a class that serves the masses.  It fulfills the “math requirement” for the majority of undergraduate students enrolled and for many, this is the only college level math course they take.  Intro Stats is also a required course for math majors and most science students.  Inspired by the book Understanding Probability and Statistics, A book of Problems, by Ruma Falk, I have deviated from all of my senior colleagues here at Susquehanna, and run my sections of Intro Stats using IBL methods.  Class time is spent with students working in small groups.  They are required to prepare written reports of what they do each day.  At first I used Falk’s wonderful problem book, and now have developed a problem book of my own.
