Before implementing a course in the analysis of variance (ANOVA) taught through multiple linear regression, several concerns must be addressed. Adequate computer facilities that are available to students on a low-cost or cost-free basis are necessary; also students must be able to meaningfully communicate with their major advisor regarding their statistical knowledge. The second concern implies some usage of traditional ANOVA terminology. Using a standard ANOVA topic such as the analysis of covariance is generally convincing in the efficacy of the multiple regression approach. The analysis of covariance can be accomplished through two rather simple linear models. (Author)
