Re: Statistics is Bunk {thanks!}

[Jeff Rasmussen]

Thanks for all the opinions on my posting. I found them enlightening & encouraging. I've taught stats for about 15 years now, and am considering doing a different take on it. Specifically, I'd have the coverage of the "usual suspects" (anova, correlation, etc) and then say the other half or so of the semester on alternative approaches. If anyone is familiar with Ken Wilber, I was thinking of using "No Boundaries" as the other text. Since I teach an advanced lab also, in which all the students have already had stats and methods, its clear to me that most of what they learned about stats is lost to forgetting.

best,

JR
