Pedagogical Use Description | The activities that students will work through are data heavy and rich in quantitative skill development, and as such students may be initially put off by the amount of statistics that it involves. To that end, we have included specific instructions for the students and instructors on how to maneuver through the datasets with ease. Since the study is split into three activities, instructors should feel free to use as much or as little as is warranted given time constraints and the strengths of their students. The entire set of activities together can be run in a laboratory setting, while if desired the first two activities could be run in a class setting with the third activity assigned as homework. We have two different versions for activity 1. The activity that is included in the main document is at the level of a lower-division course. It involves using MS Excel and an available online statistical package (VassarStats) to analyze the data. The version of activity 1 that is found in the Appendix tackles the non-parametric analysis by hand, and we presume that this version is appropriate for upper-division students. Both versions end at the same point, so whether the faculty member chooses the version here or in the Appendix, they will follow the same overall path. |
