We appreciate this objection, and feel it makes a strong case for giving students regular and consistent feedback, including access to right answers. Provide plenty of feedback. Stress good writing. Many activities call for students to write interpretations and explanations of their findings, and we urge you to insist that students relate these to the context at hand. Implore students to read well.
Students can do themselves a great service by taking their time and reading carefully.
By reading directions and questions well, students can better know what is expected in an activity. Moreover, the book's expository passages interspersed among the activities contain a great deal of information that is essential for students to understand. We sincerely hope that you and your students will enjoy a dynamic and productive learning environment as you study with Workshop Statistics.
