Didn't you always want to surf the Web and get credit for it? Then, this 2 or 3 credit course is certainly right for you! We will discuss a multitude of topics how Statistics and the Web are related today, e.g., statistical software on the Web, Web-based tools for teaching undergraduate statistics classes, electronic textbooks, electronic journals, main data sources on the Web, data collection through the Web, etc.
As a prerequisite, this class only requires basic statistical knowledge as taught in Stat 2000 or Stat 3000. Therefore, this class should be open to everyone in Statistics, Mathematics, Education (either as a current or future teacher of Math/Stats), Computer Science, Administrative Sciences, Natural Resources, and anybody else interested in Statistics and the Web.


Please contact me in person, by phone, or by e-mail in case of any question.

But act soon! Since we will be using an electronic classroom where each student will sit in front of his/her own computer, the class size is very limited.

The class will meet MTRF 8:40-10:50am in GEOL 310 between Monday May 8, 2000, and Friday June 2, 2000.
