"The Unknown Citizen"

INTG-413       Citizenship: Statistical Thinking
Instructor: Marjorie Bond

This course will focus on using statistical information to make decisions in a variety of disciplines such as Physical and Life sciences, Political and Social Sciences, etc. The course will also address the issue of the misuse of quantitative information to mislead. During the course, students will properly obtain and analyze data which will result in a written report. This work will support either another Citizenship course or an organization in the community.

Some potential projects for this course include:

1. Working with a client to develop a survey, administering the survey, analyzing the results of the survey, and writing a report/giving a presentation
2. Analyzing existing data for a client and writing a report/giving a presentation
3. Interpreting and clarifying statistical information that a client may be receiving
4. Helping a client to better use existing data that he/she may have
5. Making presentations about basic statistical knowledge that every citizen should know

In the spring of 2009, this class will meet on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 11 am.
