Re: Liberal Arts Statistics Course

[Richard M. Barton]

Hello Derek,

For starters, you might look at the College Board's information on their Advanced Placement course in statistics. There's a pretty good description of the course content and an outline at:

www.collegeboard.org/ap/statistics/

there is a list of resources for teachers (including recommended texts) at:

www.ncssm.edu/statsteachers/resources.htm

Members,

I am considering development of a statistics course that would fulfill only
the liberal arts requirement at our College. This course would not be
required for any major nor would it be a prerequisite for any "advanced"
statistics courses. If any member is familiar with this type of course and
could direct me to a description of their course, a list of topics covered,
pros and cons, etc. they could respond to me directly at
