[E] Best practices for teaching intro statistics
I’m taking over a medium sized (~50 students) statistics class. The current practice is to offer weekly homeworks via an online platform that also gives students access to the ebook. In addition there are weekly Excel exercises.
I am torn. Part of me wants to keep the current structure. Knowing how students do homework, not having to grade it is a huge advantage. On the other hand, l want my students to get as much out of this course as possible, which means (given all I know about teaching) requiring paper textbooks and assigning homework on paper.
What would you do? What would you recommend? Thanks!
