ABSTRACT:

WHAT PROBLEM DO WE ASPIRE TO SOLVE?
We want to walk away from the traditional overview of statistics as a discipline that reliesupon repetitive procedures with fictitious datasets and major emphasis on step-wise and structured procedures.

INSTEAD
We want to present applied statistics as aninterdisciplinary approach that allows thestudents to use statistics to answer real world questions and communicate statistical results.

HOW ARE WE APPROCAHING THIS DILEMMA?
Implementation of case-based approach along with "generative model of teaching" and "technical writing"
