PowerPoint slides • Reference Materials • History • Demonstrations: • Applets • Videos • Simulations • Data Sets • Case Studies • Guided Demos • Simulations • Laboratories • Applets • Tutorials • Teacher-directed assessments • Laboratories • Homework Problems • Self-directed assessments • Immediate Feedback Lecture Explore Assess Teaching and Learning Cycle

  6. Lecture Explore Assess TLC: Regression Applets like this one from SticiGui Java Tools allow students to explore changes in the data to see how they affect the regression line. An in-class activity from the STAR Library can help introduce the concept of regression. Using self-tests like this one from Biometry: Statistics for Ecology, students can submit their answers and receive immediate feedback regarding questions answered correctly and questions or topics needing improvement.

  7. Lecture TLC: Regression http://www.causeweb.org/repository/StarLibrary/activities/buskirk_young2001/ www.statcrunch.com
