Lab Project Sets. A series of lab projects sets will be produced. Each set will focus on a core statistical concept. A project set will consist of a video introduction to the topic, a video interview with a person working in business, industry or government describing a real world application of the statistical topic, a project illustrating the topic, and an on-line interactive exam. The PI's will present the ten minute introductory video lectures.
Statistics is an applied science.
To truly understand statistical concepts it is essential that they be presented and used in applied contexts. Utilizing Dr. Monticino's extensive industry contacts, interviews with persons applying statistics in business, industry and government will be produced. The interviews will be used to motivate the lab projects. Several of the other people interviewed will be invited to UNT through the Mathematics Department's endowed colloquium program. Dr. Monticino has obtained commitments from several persons who have access to video conferencing technology at their workplace.
