Response "Give students a case study, have them identify what else they need to know/learn so that they can create a solution(s) or solve problems for the case study." Engage students in statistical consultation #stats "Provide dataset, give freedom to build a visualization that communicates/addresses a problem" Give students a case study problem and create solutions Context-rich problems "Negotiated assessment" "Working in teams, Develop a research proposal for a solution to an existing problem using valid approaches" use design thinking methodology to encourage prototyping and iterative problem solving "Get students to devise their own research questions, decide on methods, take their own data, and honestly appraise the success or failure of their method." Provide practice problems and exam questions that are explicitly asking about things we have NOT studied in this class "Guessing at answers, explicitly not using formulas #math" Challenge students to overcome a random obstacle Introduce latest developments from the research literature in assignments. Design an experiment to solve a problem Allowing students to design own experiments Design a study to answer a research problem #stats #biol Apply known principles to a new situation in a lab setting Open-ended investigations with new data #stats
