Statistical Reasoning (MATH 115): Fall 2021 - Spring 2023 and Fall 2024/Spring 2025

This class provides an introduction to probability and statistics without calculus. It is generally intended for non-STEM majors, but many life sciences majors are required to take this class. The topics we cover include discrete probability distributions, counting probabilities, continuous probability distributions, confidence intervals, and hypothesis testing.

I taught this course over many semesters and did so under two different modalities. The first was a hybrid approach where some topics were presented as videos for the student to watch prior to class and other topics were given during the lecture. The second modality was as a traditional lecture. In both modalities, I gave opportunities for the students to practice the concepts during class time.
