Homework and Projects
Each lesson of ActivStats provides homework exercises. Homework exercises typically provide data and ask questions that employ the methods or concepts of that lesson. Many exercises include datasets and are linked with a mouse click to Data Desk or one of the Teaching Applets.
ActivStats also provides projects with each lesson. Projects are activities that require initial effort to collect, locate, or otherwise assemble data before analyzing it. Often data that you have collected or researched yourself is more interesting to analyze, and raises new and stimulating questions. The additional effort to obtain the data for projects is usually slight. Some projects, however, suggest the joint effort of a committee of students.
