Introductory Statistics: A Student-Centered Approach and online resources in Achieve provide the keys to understanding statistics in the real world for today’s students. The authors have taken their streamlined writing style and layered in a wealth of worked examples, real data and applications, and easily accessible resources for making sense of statistics in our everyday lives. Knowledge and skills in statistics should be attainable for all students, no matter their background, and Introductory Statistics: A Student-Centered Approach balances the skill building and straightforward conceptual understanding students need to succeed.
The digital resources in Achieve connect the mission of the text to immersive learning experiences and multimedia with a variety of assessment types to fit any teaching style. For courses that incorporate statistical software, Tech Corners in the text and in Achieve encourage students to analyze real-world data with the software of their choice.
Achieve and Introductory Statistics: A Student-Centered Approach started first with the needs of students–how they learn and digest new material, what’s relevant to them, and how they practice their skills–and built out an all-in-one offering designed to provide a pathway to understanding for students of all backgrounds.
