statistics for behavioral sciences course for my community college.

style and loving it, but I greatly intrigued by this opportunity. Also

Hi Judith,
I'm currently teaching our stats course on-line for the first time. Overall
it is going really well, but there have been a few issues that I'm still
trying to find ways of working out. We require the use of SPSS in our stats
course, so I selected a book that comes with a student vers
Judith,
I'm going to try out web-based versions of two courses next fall

Another brief question on your on-line stats class...
How do you deal with homework? In my regular lecture class I typically emphasize the
assignment of "odd-numbered problems" that include the answer to the question in the
back of the book. I tell the students I do not grade them on the
Hi Judith,
I switched to the combination of problems that have the answers in the back
and those that don't, just like you were thinking. The ones that are in the
back give them a way to make sure they are doing things correctly, while
the ones that aren't there gives me a way to know they aren
