Presentation Transcript

  1. Design and Applied Statistics in the Sciences (DASS) • Second-semester sophomore marine biology, marine science majors • 16-20 students • 1 section of lecture, 1 section of lab* • MWF format with R lab (3 hours) • Prerequisite for Physiology, Ecology, Tropical Marine Science, Senior Research Proposal/Project • For my deliverable, I am concentrating on “t-test week” which is the first statistical test they will learn after learning how to test for normality, homogeneity of variance (they will have done several Excel and SPSS tutorials already so they are familiar with the software)

  2. *I have several videos to choose from, or may make my own using Screencast-o-Matic Blue font – in class Green font – out of class

  3. DASS T-test Week In-class activities Muddy questions - test and practicum, peer/teacher review of question/data set Discussion, Chips Ahoy Challenge, meaningful differences Video and SPSS tutorial on t-test, canned data sets “Zen of t-tests” IYOW* what is meant by a significant difference between means? Have students read the Practicum assignment; sketch data set idea Collect and analyze your own data set comparing two means Bar graph assignment Out-of-class activities *IYOW means “In Your Own Words” short writing assignment

  4. Learning Objective for the Week* Students will be able to apply a t-test to a novel data set and correctly interpret the statistical output. Monday we will introduce the “why” of a t-test Wednesday we will look at the math behind the test – but in “plain English” Thursday is the lab – we will use the software for the t-test Friday we will help each other formulate and focus our individual research questions for the…. …….Summative Assessment! This will be a practicum *there will be one to two weeks for each statistical test to be learned
