Community Service-Learning in Statistics: Course Design and Assessment
Hydorn, Debra L.
Journal of Statistics Education, v15 n2 2007
Service-learning projects are a useful method for students to learn both the practice and value of statistical methods. Effective service learning, however, depends on several factors and can be implemented according to a variety of models. In this article, different models for incorporating service-learning in statistics courses are presented along with example statistics courses. Principles for good service-learning practice will also be presented as a means for assessing the quality of a service-learning course component.
