    Passion Driven Statistics

    Developed by Lisa Dierker and Jennifer Rose, the Passion Driven Statistics curriculum allows students to discover statistical methods and statistical computing in a way that is both exciting and empowering. Students generate hypotheses based on real-world data, prepare the data for analysis, conduct descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, and present their research findings to both expert and novice audiences. QAC201, is based on this curriculum.
