Have students engage in the data/science research pipeline in as faithful a manner as possible while maintaining a level suitable for novices.
We will, as best we can, perform all this:
Foster a conceptual understanding of statistical topics and methods using simulation/resampling and real data whenever possible, rather than mathematical formulae.
In this course, computers and not math will be the "engine". What does this mean?
Blur the traditional lecture/lab dichotomy of introductory statistics courses by incorporating more computational and algorithmic thinking into the syllabus.
