A workshop approach will be illustrated where students explore topics in data analysis, probability, and inference by means of directed activities in the classroom. Traditional and Bayesian methods will be compared from the viewpoint of communicating basic tenants of statistical inference. We will survey the undergraduate- driven theory of cwatsets, discuss cwatsets as a capstone topic for a discrete mathematics or abstract algebra course, and present an extensive inventory of research questions suitable for undergraduates and their teachers. Participants will receive a packet of technical reports, papers, examples, and questions.
