Part I of the book presents a large selection of activities for introductory statistics courses and has chapters such as 'First week of class' - with exercises to break the ice and get students talking; then descriptive statistics, linear regression, data collection (sampling and experimentation), probability, inference, and statistical communication. Part II gives tips on what works and what doesn't, how to set up effective demonstrations and examples, how to encourage students to participate in class and to work effectively in group projects. A sample course plan is provided. Part III presents material for more advanced courses on topics such as decision theory, Bayesian statistics and sampling."
