Back to the Blog!

To ensure that students can see the relevance of statistics to their personal and/or professional lives, I would like for you to discuss concrete ways in which this stuff that we are learning can be important for you. You can make it personal, tie it to your major, examine how it will be used in your careers, etc. Stats is everywhere... and you can benefit from it! : )
