Experiences with Authentic Assessment Techniques in an Introductory Statistics Course

 

Abstract

In an effort to align evaluation with new instructional goals, authentic assessment techniques (see, e.g., CitationArchbald and Newmann 1988, CitationCrowley 1993, and CitationGarfield 1994) have recently been introduced in introductory statistics courses at the University of the Pacific. Such techniques include computer lab exercises, term projects with presentations and peer reviews, take-home final exam questions, and student journals. In this article, I discuss the University of the Pacific's goals and experiences with these techniques, along with strategies for more effective implementation.
