WITH RESAMPLING: STUDENTS LEARN MORE, ENJOY COURSE
As far back as the 1970's, controlled experiments found better
classroom results with the "new statistics" - the resampling
method - than with conventional methods. Students handle more
problems correctly and like statistics much better with resampling
than with conventional methods.
At sites ranging from Frederick Junior College to Stanford University
Graduate School, recent surveys of student judgments of courses using
the resampling method - including both introductory and graduate
classes - show that students recommend the method.
Followup surveys of introductory students taught both resampling and
conventional statistics show a clear advantage for resampling in
amount learned, amount retained, and likelihood to use statistics in
personal or work life.
