Reviews of the Book"It's a heartfelt pleasure to recommend this book. It's packed with
useful information on texts, assignments, demonstrations, means of
assessment, and technologies relevant to the teaching of statistics, and
it's also the most stimulating and thoughtful scholarly treatment of the
teaching of statistics I have ever seen." "In Teaching Statistics, Hulsizer and Woolf provide a well
organized and clear presentation of the important issues that face teachers
at all levels, from basic to advanced. The coverage is complete and the
material presented is based on the results of empirical studies as well as
the authors own experiences. Especially for new teachers, the book will be
an important tool to help them find their teacher's voice." "Michael Hulsizer and Linda Woolf have put together a clearly written
guide to teaching statistics that is based on a comprehensive review of
literature in statistics education. Although the book is oriented toward
teaching statistics in psychology departments, anyone who teaches statistics
will benefit from this book, especially those new to the endeavor. The book
is full of well-researched advice and guidance on teaching statistics that
reflects current recommendations from the statistics education reform
movement, as well as sound principles for instruction gleaned from the
learning and cognition research literature. It will have a prominent place
among my teaching resources."
